Jazz Score

From Miles Davis’s sensuous music for Louis Malle’s Elevator to the Scaffold to Alex North’s groundbreaking score for Elia Kazan’s A Streetcar Named Desire, MOMA’s newest series, Jazz Score, celebrates some of the best jazz composed for the cinema from the 1950s to the present. Featuring a fascinating retrospective on the most influential films, a gallery installation, live concerts, and a panel discussion, the whole shebang kicks off tonight with director Arthur Penn introducing his 1965 classic Mickey One, which boasts tenor saxonophonist Stan Getz and Eddie Sauter’s brilliant collaboration
