Hello,

I was wondering about the connections between jazz music and avant-garde
film after watching *Bridges-Go-Round* (1958) by Shirley Clarke, with the
soundtrack version created by Teo Macero.

There should be plenty of avant-garde and experimental films where the
soundtrack is instrumental jazz music. Maybe the field of Visual Music
should be the most represented but i'm sure there are other films like the
one by Michael Snow that uses, in this case, free jazz music or
improvisation.

Does anyone remember some other avant-garde films with jazz soundtracks?

Right my list is as follows:

*Begone Dull Care* (1949) by Norman McLaren. Music by Oscar Peterson

*Films No. 1* (1948) by Harry Smith. Music by Dizzy Gillespie

*Chasse des Touches* (1959) by Hy Hirsh. Music by Thelonious Monk

*Catalog* (1961) by John Whitney. Music by Ornette Coleman

*New York Eye and Ear Control *(1964) by Michael Snow. Music by
Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Albert Alcoz
