Icing on the cake: Eddie Muller is hosting. I love his work on Noir Alley.

John Cassavetes' Shadows with a soundtrack by Mingus - great movie.

Some Like it Hot!?

Thanks for the heads up. I’m definitely going to be recording some of these.

Just noticed "The Connection" is included. Honestly, I am not a fan of the film overall, but Jackie McLean is great in a band with Freddie Redd (who composed the wonderful tunes), Michael Mattos, and Larry Ritchie.

Yeah. Not all the movies are gonna be winners.
that's why I'm fast forwarding through a lot of the dialog scenes. The Sammy davis Jr movie, i found very hard to watch but the music scenes were very good. The Man I love was actually a pretty good film. So is Young man with a Horn with Kirk Douglas.
