Music in Dance Movies and "evergreens"





  Det finns många "godbitar" ur musicals, och filmusikaler.

Gissa om att många av dessa "evergreens" är älskade, 

Inte bara för filmerna, dansen, filmstjärnorna, kostymerna och koreografin.

Musiken, till dessa skrevs ju av genier,

Var finns dessa idag?

Och varför tror du att just dessa "standard-låtar"  som kom från musicals eller filmer fortfarande är så populära ibland Jazzmusikanter över hela världen ?

Blueszzzz- Two North, Two South

Big Walter Horton - Blues Harp Shuffle 

 


Stevie Ray Vaughan 

 

Little Walter Walter - Jump

Note that the "old"  Blues Chicago style can be devided,

The westside of  the Chicagoblues is more "raw" and agressive.

The Southside style is played more with the harmoica. (harp)

Nowadays it´s a mixture of Texas and Chicago blues on electric guitar

and its hard to label.  But what the heck, Blues can be played in all kinds of styles.

 Chicago blues was one of the most significant influences on modern rock music.

Listen,  and now you can hear why !

The Blues Brothers inspelad i Chicago, Il.

En av de roligaste och bästa musikfilmerna som någonsin gjorts.

När jag var i Hollywood, Universal Studios 1980, så frågade vi hur många polisbilar som förstördes i filmen...????

Svar:

-Vi körde ut med 400 bilar, och vi kom tillbaka med 25 hela....!

Stay sharp!

Maynard Ferguson at Playboy Jazz Festival


The Playboy Magazine is a great magazine, that always had good taste!

It is in the Playboy Philosophy that Jazzmusic, and Jazzlovers should be treated the best way.

I will start to rub off  some stupid nonsence about Playboy magazine.

- It´s a Magazine With a lots of Porn -No Thats not true !

- It´s a Magazine Just for the rich young boys - No way !

-It´s a Magazine for "lousy and cheap" entertainment - No, the contrary!

-It´s a Magazine with bad reputation - No, it has never had a bad reputation !

-It´s a Magazine with just pictures of nude beautiful girls - No, Its just the centerfold!

-It´s a Magazine with bad writers and authors - No, There has even been Nobelprice-winners in literature that has been published in this magazine, Works by E Hemmingway, John Steinbeck and many famous writers like Ray Bradbury and Alex Haley ( Roots) and many, many more.

  It´s a Magazine just for men. No, even women likes it!

It´s a Magazine that has published many, many intresting articles and interviews with famus people, like Candidates of USA:s Presidents, and famus movie, rock or jazz stars eg. - Yes, that´s true!

 

So, if all your prejudice is not gone by now, I´ll continue whith some memories of mine later on, on my blogg. Small memories that I experienced in USA and Sweden. All with Playboy and the music I love, Jazzmusic.

 

And here is why Playboy magazine plays a vital part.

This magazine and Playboy-clubs also wanted to present the best Jazzmusic on records or live!
