"Match me Sidney!" God I love this film.

[@guyswiggins]

As a New Yorker, I can't tell you how much I adore this movie. Few movies have ever captured the allure, the greed, the raw ambition, the talent that fuels New York. And as a jazz lover, few movies have ever done a better job of weaving the jazz scene into the plot of the movie. (One of the protagonists is the jazz guitarist shown in this clip.) This is classic movie making at its very best - a true tour de force and the best movie that Curtis and Lancaster ever made.

I may be 4 years late, but, I have the answers. June 2011.Pete Condoli, trumpet. Ted Nash, alto. Lloyd Ulyate, trombone.Shelley Manne, drums.Armand Kaproff, cello. Dave Frisina, violin. Martin Ruderman, flute. Gordon Schoneberg, oboe. Mitchell Lurie, clarinet.Jack Marsh, bassoon. John Crown, piano. Lee Perrin, timpani. Johnny Williams, piano. These guys did all the playing at different points in the movie, some, of course, in this segment. I am the man.

[@wrightfilms]

great movie. there used to be an album of jazz soundtracks from this and other classics like "the rat race". can this terrific album still be found?

[@nuitetjuors1]

@Beck19781 His manager is called D'Angelo in the film too. Not much of an in-joke, so it must be a coincidence!

[@hookalakah]

Talk to Fred Katz--he writes the arrangements for the band...

[@TheGrungeGamer2]

The Simpsons brought me here

[@nuitetjuors1]

@Beck19781 fair point! and obviously the maker's name had to be hidden anyway to give martin milner an easier time finger-syncing.

[@howlinblues]

@ 1.00min THATS MARTIN MILNER ON GUITAR OUT OF ROUTE 66.

[@recordguy4321]

pretending he's a guitarist

[@rerite2]

@@recordguy4321 -- You probably know this: Milner's right hand, playing the notes on the fretboard, was actually the hand of a professional guitarist, hidden behind Milner.

[@mortalkonlaw]

love how the waitress says she's "in tro-" "in trouble"? like, knocked up?

[@susanb2015]

In trouble of getting fired from her job.

[@hookalakah]

Yeah, Paul--cool this chick while Chico gets Steve... Barabara Nichols died for your sins.

[@eecortese]

Chico was a cat!

[@grantgre]

But who was the real guitarist?

[@greganderson7534]

John Pisano

[@SmutJunkie]

@campocat -- fake jazz, in the words of Donal Fagen. All I know is the score was written by Elmer Bernstein

[@eecortese]

You mean 'Donald Fagen' of Steely Dan? Fake jazz? Explain.

your expertise is smut, not jazz
