trumpets in movies?
still...@webtv.net
movies before, I taped "Angel Eyes" from tv last night. Her and the guy
in the lead roll are walking down the street and hearing a trumpet from
inside a bar, go in and dance to a slow song. The trumpet player gets a
lot of screen time. How neat I'm thinking, then after the song, the band
breaks and the guy in the lead roll walks on stage, picks up a trtumpet
and plays beautifully, and joined by the flute player. The whole sceen
is only 5 minutes, but so nice and totally unexpected. The only other
movie that comes to mind where our instrument makes an appearance is
Cannery Row with Nick Nolte. They added to the Steinbeck novel having
Nolte be a former baseball pitcher who beaned some guy who he now
provides for. Anyway this guy plays a trumpet, I know he played Stormy
Weather, don't recall what else. Anyone know of any other non-music
movie where a trumpet is seen and heard?

Not a movie, but Land of The Giants (60's TV show)
There was an episode with Sugar Ray Robinson as a trumpet player taught to
play
better by one of the little people.
He even shows him how to make a straight mute.
Sugar Ray Robinson was a close friend of Miles Davis, but I am not sure who
played he trumpet
in the show.

Guy Barker appears in the nightclub scene about 25 minutes along in "The
Talented Mr. Ripley".
While it wasn't trumpet, Cleo Laine appeared decades ago as a nightclub
singer in "The Roman Spring Of Mrs. Stone" (1961) with Vivien Leigh and
Warren Beatty.

> movie where a trumpet is seen and heard?
A very young Herb Alpert appeared as a trumpet playing band leader in "Mr.
Hobbs Takes A Vacation" with Jimmy Stewart. However, I think they overdubbed
them, the horn doesn't sound anything like HA.
He also appeared in The Ten Commandments as a drummer, and is credited with
an appearance on The Ozzy And Harriet show with the TJB, and a film called
"Love It Or Leave It" from '71 as a trumpet player.
There was Uncle Joe Shannon, starring an uncharacteristically slim Burt
Young (Pauly the idiot brother in law in the Rocky movies) as a jazz
trumpeter going through a life crisis. Maynard did the actual playing. Don't
know if you'd consider that a non-music movie or not, as it was primarily a
drama. It got panned, but I liked it.

Check out the old Bob Hope / Bing Crosby 'Road to...' pictures. One of
them (The Road To Rio) is centered around two musicians (one being a
trumpet player). Another (not a 'Road To' pix) was about two rival
trumpeters in the same band who spent a lot of their time trying to
outdo each other with their antics. I don't remember the title but I
BELIEVE that Jack Carson was one of the main characters. I remember
one scene where one of the trumpeters changed the notation of the
other's music to make him sound bad on a national radio program. And
BAD he did sound. It made for good slap stick comedy.

That would be "Second Chorus." The movie starred Fred Astaire and Burgess
Meridith. Artie Shaw was the bandleader.
Mendez appeared in the Glenn Ford-Jack Lemmon film "Cowboy." He wanders around
a grubby bar playing his horn.
Shorty Rodgers was in " The Man With A Golden Arm,"
he plays a bandleader.
"Bell, Book and Candle featured Pete and Conti Condoli.
Miles was in "Scrooged."
Louis Armstrong was in "A Man Called Adam," Sammy Davis played Adam, a
Miles-like character.
That's all I can think of now.

James also played himself and horn in several old movies. One was set in
Lake Louise Canada.
It was always funny to watch the short subjects in the movie house when
big bands played, because they lip synched to their recordings done in
studios. You would see a bone section sitting with horns in lap, but yet
they were playing on the sound track. They typically had some jugglers
out front tossing those Indian clubs back and forth, Individual
musicians were rarely featured, but if you knew your guys one did get
some screen time occasionally. Some of more bizarre showmen slapstick
bands were often featured such as Spike Jones. (Yes, I remember black
and white movies)
Slight digression: It is said the Duke Ellington band played Radio City
Music Hall intermissions live on a stage which would rise from beneath
the stage.Duke's sidemen spent the movie time in a nearby bar, ran onto
the stage at last minute and it rose to the audience. Not all made it,
so not wanting empty chairs in the band, he hired some standby ringers
who were non players to jump into the vacant seats and hold a horn
during the show. He would motion to the stage manager "Give me three!"
Ahhhh...the music business!

According to the tune-by-tune soundtrack credits on imdb.com, trumpet
players include:
Lew Soloff
Dave Brown
Eandy Sandke
No mention of Gere either in the soundtrack credits or elsewhere in the IMDB
listing. That doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't playing.

During the opening credits it says "Cornet Solos by Richard Gere".
It's been awhile since I saw it but like I said before the playing
sounded about like a serious amatuer level of playing. I want to say I
read something about him talking about playing since high school but
wouldn't swear to it. The other guys could have dubbed players in the
Club band as I recall there was some solo work there too. I can't
imagine they'd have used Soloff for anything less!

general, producers have no interest in music or musicians. Even on the

Thanks for the info. I learned that Second Chorus is on DVD along with
another Astaire flick.
Way back, 'Peter Gunn' often had jazz players playing bit parts. Pete
Candoli was shown a few times as was Shorty Rogers. Shorty had a
speaking part where when Peter introduced his gal pal Lola to Shorty
(while playing at 'Mother's') Shorty said 'Hi'. Also, years ago, Bell
Telephone had a series of TV programs explaining scientific and other
areas of interest. One was a program about language where Shorty
talked in the 'language / lingo' of be-bop. On the 'Honeymooners',
Ralph played 'Carnival of Venice' on his old childhood cornet. Gozzo
was seen from time to time on the old 'NBC Comedy Hour'. Atty Joseph
Welsh (of the McCarthy era) hosted a number of programs, one of him
holding a cornet that he played as a child. I believe that he
suggested that he had regrets of not sticking with it.

I don't recall if it's on "Trumpet Kings" or "Ken Burns' Jazz", but
apparently when Louis first recorded Hello Dolly for later release, it was
just one of several songs at the recording session and didn't make much of
an impression on him. After the album's release, the recording became
extremely popular and at a subsequent concert people were requesting the
song, but he didn't even remember recording it, saying to his band "what the
hell is Hello Dolly?" Of course, it became one of his biggest hits.

His recording, which is mainly singing, is of course separate from the
movie version. I'd guess it's popularity was due to giving a unique
twist to an already very popular show tune from it's era, plus that
Armstrong had a brief but memorable cameo in the movie.
I don't know offhand if he did his recording before or after the movie
was produced (it was filmed during 1968, though not released until late
1969; FOX' contract for the movie rights specified the movie could not
be shown until after the Broadway production had broken all existing
records for a long-run musical).
The management for a local restaurant likes to play it on their CD player.
I'm suddenly having flashes of Sting doing an Armstong-voice version of
"HD" with -- who else? <g> -- Chris Botti on trumpet (it could be an
amusing companion to their "Bourbon Street" duo).

know its juvenile humor but what can I say. The hero doesn't have his
law books arranged A to Z, he says, "lets see, F through U, C through
K." If you see it, don't say I didn't warn you.

In the old days, these scenes were called, "comic relief". In an otherwise
straight drama, there would be one scene devoted to comic relief. They would
put in something wacky, or off the wall, to sort of break the
tension.....Then they would get on with the rest of the movie......
Sometimes these kind of scenes would constitute a "trademark". For example,
in the Alfred Hitchcock dramas, he would put himself in one scene of every
movie he made. Not always doing something funny, but his mere presense would
be a trademark....In "Strangers on a Train", for example, he was a passenger
struggling to get his bass fiddle on (or off) the train. The ides was that,
when you went to see an Alfred Hitchcock movie, you would be watching to see
if you could spot him.

Quite right. Only thing is, Fatal Instinct and other movies of that genre,
particularly by Abrahams, Zucker, et. al., are about 95% comic relief, so
in an otherwise silly movie, we occasionally have a straight scene.
However, not only do I not know what those scenes are called, I can't even
think of any offhand. :-)
