Re: [Frameworks] Jazz Music and Avant-Garde Film

2017-11-09 Thread Adam Hyman

Unquestionably they didn¹t have the rights to start, but it also wasn¹t a
big issue.
Rights for those films have become an issue when DVD editions were desired
to be made.  Reputable companies won¹t distribute DVDs without evidence of
licenses (or fair use opinions from lawyers).
I think since A-G films live below the commercial radar, most don¹t get
rights.

Subject:  Re: [Frameworks] Jazz Music and Avant-Garde Film

To me there is the interesting question regarding which avant garden or
experimental films obtained the rights for the music. Some maybe not at
first but maybe later if the film became more widely known.

Not jazz, but I wondered if Kenneth Anger had the rights to all that pop
music when Scorpio Rising first came out, likewise Bruce Conner¹s ³Cosmic
Ray², now that Bruce is blue chip museum material I am sure they have the
obtained the rights especially since the major power of that film is the Ray
Charles music but I have my doubts about those rights when first the film
came out.   Harry Smith just put on his favorite album at the time Monk or
whatever, likewise the early films of Joseph Cornell.  Smith¹s early
compilation of American Folk Music was likely very casual about rights at
first, just using his collection of rare old 78 rpm material.  Does anyone
actually know facts relating to all this. I think at some point I did read
that Anger said he had rights to the pop music, but not exactly sure if that
was true at the beginning.

 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

Osias Wilenski "El Perseguidor" (1965)

Not strictly experimental, but rather experimental for Argentine fiction
feature films of the time.
Based on the homonymous short story by Julio Cortazar, inspired by the life
of Charlie Parker.

I have made several films with live jazz soundtracks performed and composed by 
Lisa Mezzacappa:
Found and Lost
Glorious Ravage
and my Naval Compression uses an excerpt from a composition by Duke Ellington.

Hi Albert,

Jack Chambers' R34 features a section of Ayler's Bells for the last stretch of 
it.

Joyce Wieland's Rat Life and Diet in North America has a violent cacophony of 
free jazz at the beginning that I've not been able to identify.

Joyce's Water Sark has an improvisational soundtrack by Carla Bley & Mike 
Mantler (of the Jazz Composers Orchestra) with Ray Jessel (Broadway composer 
and later novelty songwriter).

Likewise, her Peggy's Blue Skylight is named for the Mingus composition and 
features Paul Bley playing it on the soundtrack.

There are passages of jazz in the collage soundtracks of Arthur Lipsett. (Sorry 
for the Canada-centric response!)

I feel like there's a Kuchar movie that has the Scott Lafaro bass solo from 
Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz on the soundtrack...

There's another Hy Hirsch film, Gyromorphosis, that uses Django by the MJQ/John 
Lewis.

There's always Pull My Daisy.

Stephen

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

2017-11-09 Thread Beebe, Roger W.

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:
