Arena: Cool
April 4th, 2009 by antimegaA masterful Arena, exploring cool jazz – but rather than taking the normal route of talking heads, here the music tells the story, with occasional narration, on-screen quotes from the musicians, clips from all sorts of places, even a brief Allen Ginsberg reading. There’s also wonderful original incidental music by George Taylor. Worth watching, even if you think you don’t like jazz.

Who’s George Taylor? I was mesmorised by this music but can’t find any bibliography or discography.

Yes, mesmorised is the word. A captivating programme, but it’s the George Taylor ‘incidental’ music I’m desperate to track down!

The incidental music linking clips and artists (by George Taylor?) also got to me. The internet usually demystify’s things but this time I’ve drawn a blank!

the soundtrack is not officially available but I’m talking to Arena about whether i can put the tracks up as mp3s on the Barking Green Records website
