Saw this film last night. Enjoyable. This scene, set to a track I hadn't heard before, was one of the highlights (she's a vampire. He (a little stoned) doesn't know it).
(Is anyone here familiar with "The White Lies" (the band who perform the track...?))
"White Lies are an English post-punk band from Ealing, London. Formerly known as Fear of Flying, the core band members are Harry McVeigh, Charles Cave, and Jack Lawrence-Brown." Wikipedia

Nearly 50 years ago, John Coltrane was in the last phase of his life and musical development. This album shows how there's still life in his innovations today. Give it a go if you're into late Coltrane.
Cornet, acoustic bass guitar and two drummers playing part kits. At first glance it looks as if it's trying to be willfully avant garde. But nothing of the sort. It's a jazz album that the strange instrumentation just twists a bit out of the obvious. I'm going to play this one a lot.
Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra - Into Forever
I love how Halsall and his associates are keeping the spirit of Alice Coltrane's 60s and 70s albums alive. What I thought was an album or two has turned into years of mining some of my favourite music.
I do cherry pick from the Mahavishnu Orchestra catalogue but Return To Forever are a step too far in the jazz direction for me. If I follow a jazz link I tend to veer off to soul or funk,,,,or others like today I ended up with Devil Doll, an American (apparently rockabilly) outfit that's quite entertaining and new to me.
Yeah, that's more my bag fella! Add some acid jazz and just about most things that use some jazz inspiration to fire them up 8-X (closest on here to a Naw'leans day of the dead skull).
The Crusaders? Again I cherry pick, the more they get funky the more I like it, the more jazzy and I lose interest. I have there best of album of which I like about 1/3. I do like Stix Hooper though, he's a great groover.
My introduction to anything jazz was Weather Report's album Heavy Weather.
Stix Hooper is a drum god! I like the Crusaders when they're doing those dirty grooves. I parted company with them at Streetlife.
The Best of album (the one with the red cover, double LP) was one of the first jazz albums I bought after seeing them on TV, live at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Heavy Weather is great. Track 2, A Remark You Made, almost moves me to tears.

More enjoyable than it should be... :-D
Morphine, Cure for Pain. Where saxophone replaces lead guitar.

Some classic old rock, UFO Phenomenon, singing along in the car, with memories of Knebworth '85...
(not the first time I've posted this for sure. But more and more I value this album in times of need)
