I think I saw Michael Snow’s name invoked somewhere in this thread, but I don’t think anyone mentioned that he is himself a jazz musician. I saw a show at Hallwall’s in Buffalo years ago where Snow where they included a piece called REVERBERLIN made of footage of a performance of his ensemble CCMC:

Did anyone mention Shirley Clark? Can't remember the title. Also, some of the animated films of Suzan Pitt use jazz music. Asparagus for sure. You may want to check Christopher McLain's works too... i could be wrong. Will keep thinking...

I apologize if this was already mentioned but in my research I came across two others: Surprise Boogie (1956) direted by Albert Pierru and sponsored film Skyscraper by Clarke and Van Dyke from 1959, if memory serves. Two non-avant garde that may be nonetheless of interest are: Cry of Jazz (Ed Bland, 1959) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_of_Jazz Jammin' The Blues (1944) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIFJ81RIyVk <Screen Shot 2017-11-09 at 10.40.43 AM.png> On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 3:13 AM, Albert Alcoz <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: 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 -- http://visionaryfilm.net/<http://www.visionaryfilm.net/> http://albertalcoz.com/<http://www.albertalcoz.com/> _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks -- Esperanza Collado www.esperanzacollado.net<http://www.esperanzacollado.net/> _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
