You actually imagine I'm taking this seriously even for a second?:error:HOUSTON NONET said:reedy i thought you were the trane expert-- even knew what he was thinking when he wrote a tune.
keep this up and you can cheat and use google
no -- this is fun
never saw that one-- much jazz in itDog Pants said:Malcolm X
In addition to his little-known participation in "Moonstruck," Trane consented actually to walk the bar (for the last time ever, sadly) in the movie studio where he recorded, for the soundtrack of Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure, his immortal rendition of "Twistin' My Life Away."
The "racial" angle is that he does a cameo role, as Death, in whiteface.

THE BAR WALKING SCENE WAS BLUE LOU MARINI IN THE 1ST BLUES BROTHERS MOVIE.
LOU IS A TRULY GREAT WOODWIND PLAYER--ask Eddie Daniels!
Lou's R & B type work does not do justice to this great musician.
I owe a lot to this cat. He gave me a lot of work at NTSU-- his left overs.
One time he brought a new chart to the One O'Clock that had a tough piccolo part on my chair. I didn't play it well and he leaned over and whispered into my ear "you need to work on you piccolo". He inspired me to practice piccolo that summer for 2-3 hours a day and by the fall I auditioned --on a dare from a buddy-- for the piccolo chair in one of the concert bands and got the chair--- all because of Louie !!! Great Musician!!

you guys are going to be so upset when you find out the answer to this Trane trivia
Alabama, by Wim Wenders.
ALABAMA:
2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME
1969
Photographed by:
Wim Wenders and
Robbie Müller
Cast:
Paul Lys (hero)
Peter Kaiser
Werner Schröter
Schrat
Muriel Werner
King Ampaw
Christian Friedel
(friends)
Produced by:
Wim Wenders and
Hochschule für Fernsehen
und Film, Munich
Length:
22 min.
Format:
35 mm B&W
Original Language:
German
"The next short was Alabama, which was the first film I made in 35 mm and large screen. And the first time I worked with a cameraman, the first time I worked with Robbie Muller, who has shot all my films since then. And it�s again about 25 minutes long. It has more of a story, I think, though not one you could actually tell. You couldn�t say � It�s the story of a man who��. It�s a story and it�s not a story. There�s a lot of music in it."
" The film starts with a shot of a cassette recorder, and it has a juke box in it. There�s always music in it. When I was asked by some critics at a festival press conference what the film was all about, I said 'it�s about the song All Along The Watchtower, and the film is about what happens and what changes depending on whether the song is sung by Bob Dylan or by Jimi Hendrix.'" Well, both versions of the song appear in the film, and everybody thought I was pretty arrogant to explain the story this way. But the film really is about the difference between the Dylan version of All Along the Watchtower, and the Jimi Hendrix Version. One is at the beginning and one is at the end."
" The film is named after a piece of music by John Coltrane called Alabama, which is in the film, too. It�s more of an after-action film, or after-story film. The subject is death. You could say that much about the story: it deals at least with death. In the end, the camera is dying � not the man. Well, the man is dying, but you don�t see him dying � you see the camera dying, which means you see a very, very slow fadeout."
