Well tuned in to #radiocapish

With today's listening, we wrap up (for now) the summer Jazz-Noir section. The selection we propose to close the fair comes from late '50s New York.
For the film "Shadows" (1959) by John Cassavetes (1929 - 1989), which I highly recommend if you haven't seen it, Charles Mingus played part of the soundtrack: what we are listening to are indeed these four pieces.
The film is not exactly a noir, in fact, it's not one at all, but it seems to fit the theme nonetheless. "Shadows" is, by the director's own admission, a Jazz film, in the sense that it should be considered an improvisation on the theme (as a line at the end of the film states): thus, it is Jazz music for a Jazz film. Yet, at times, the combination takes on a noir tint, as you will certainly notice if you have the chance to watch the film.
