How would I choose from such a large body of great works? Since these were to be jazz interpretations of movie themes, I wanted them to be conducive to perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of jazz - improvisation. While this narrowed the choice, there was still a very large number of pieces that fit the bill. Of the remaining songs, many were very familiar. Some were too familiar, perhaps, as they had been performed myriad times by jazz artists. I felt like they didn 't need another rendering . Some of the songs we will play for you tonight may be familiar to you, and others may not. I hope we can introduce you to a few gems you may not have heard before. My selection reflects a personal bias toward older film music , especially of the 1960s and '70s. These songs speak to me, both as a musician and as a person. I hope they speak to you, as well. ~ Tom Artwick Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) Music & Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley Sung in film by Gene Wilder Alfie from Alfie (1966) Music by Burt Bacharach Lyrics by Hal David Originally recorded by Ci/la Black prior to the movie release, it was sung by Cher over the closing credits.

Written and directed by Josh Ravetch (Carrie Fisher’s Wishful Drinking), Chasing Mem’ries stars Daly as Victoria, a woman not quite ready to let go of the life she has loved and the love of her life, Academy Award-nominee Robert Forster (Jackie Brown) as her husband Franklin, and Scott Kradolfer as their son Mason. “A violinist once said she only got to play a Stradivarius a few times in her life and she knew she would never be quite as good without it. With Tyne, Robert and Scott, and the songs of Alan and Marilyn Bergman, in this play I get to play a Stradivarius,” said Ravetch. “It is a joy to be able to keep the music playing at the Geffen Playhouse a little bit longer.” The play features 12 songs – five of them new – by legendary Grammy, Emmy and Academy Award-winning lyricists Alan & Marilyn Bergman (“The Way We Were,” “The Windmills of Your Mind,” “Papa, Can You Hear Me?”), with music by Bill Cantos & Mari Falcone, Dave Grusin, Marvin Hamlisch, Michel Legrand and Johnny Mandel.
