The Jazz Score

The MoMa is showcasing films spanning from the 50's to present day, from the U.S. to Japan, with originally composed jazz scores. Aside from the great soundtracks of these films, many of these films belong on anyones Top 100 List. This is a very comprehensive collection consisting of better known titles like Otto Preminger's The Man With the Golden Arm, where Frank Sinatra plays a drummer on heroin, and Antonioni's Blow Up (1966) with a score by Herbie Hancock. But the lesser known titles such as Shirley Clarke's The Cool World (1964), shot on location in Harlem with a score performed by Dizzy Gillespie, may steal the show. So many great ones I can't name them all; get yourself a membership and see them all on the house. http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/exhibitions.php?id=8162
