Mick Jagger. Archive to 1962 Photo: Photofest. As the “world’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band” celebrates its golden jubilee this year, the Museum of Modern Art in New York pays tribute with a heady cinematic survey: “THE ROLLING STONES: 50 YEARS OF FILM” (NOVEMBER 15–DECEMBER 2). But 2012 marks another anniversary as well. Forty years ago, the Stones embarked on a legendary tour to promote their new album, Exile on Main St., and they engaged two very different filmmakers—Robert Frank and Rollin Binzer—to document the affair on celluloid, producing wildly divergent results: Cocksucker Blues and Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones, respectively. Film historian DAVID E. JAMES traces the events that would ultimately transform the band’s extraordinary engagement with the medium—and with the very public on which not only their stardom but their cultural significance depended. WITH THE BEATLES’ FINAL PERFORMANCE on the roof of the Apple Records building at the beginning of 1969, documented in Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s film Let It Be (1970), the Rolling Stones’ claim to being the greatest rock band in the world was now uncontested. And for the next several years they would dominate rock ’n’ roll, itself the dominant cultural phenomenon of the era. Like other star musicians—Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra in earlier periods, Elvis Presley and the Beatles closer to their own—they crossed over to cinema as their fame grew. But the Stones were unique in attracting the attention of some of the most important avant-garde filmmakers of their time: Peter Whitehead, who made the band’s first major film, Charlie Is My Darling (1965)—a restored and expanded version of which is being released this month—and Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London (1967), was followed by Jean-Luc Godard (One Plus One [Sympathy for the Devil] [1968]), Kenneth Anger (Invocation of My Demon Brother [1969]), Albert and David Maysles (Gimme Shelter [1970]), Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg (Performance [1970]), and Robert Frank (Cocksucker Blues [1972]). (The Rolling Stones would, of course, remain intermittently involved in making films for decades to come, enlisting the services of Hal Ashby and Martin Scorsese, among others.) Most of these films were concert documentaries, rock ’n’ roll equivalents of the classic backstage musical, but their various forms of experimentalism challenged the direct-cinema tradition of music documentary that had developed from D. A. Pennebaker’s Dont Look Back (1967) through his Monterey Pop (1968) and Michael Wadleigh’s Woodstock (1970). That tradition collapsed—along with our mythic identification of the Stones with diabolical outlaws and the black underclass—in the making of Gimme Shelter, a film famously documenting the last week of the band’s enormously successful 1969 US tour and the free concert given after it, on December 6 of that year, at Altamont Speedway near San Francisco. There, in the last month of the ’60s, local Hells Angels who had been casually recruited to protect the stage terrorized people in the audience and some of the musicians, then stabbed to death a young African-American man who had pulled a gun and allegedly pointed it at the band as they were performing. Days later, the Berkeley Tribe, the most popular underground paper in the Bay Area, announced: “Stones Concert Ends It: America Now Up for Grabs.” Receiving codirector credit with the Maysleses for editing the film, Charlotte Zwerin abandoned the principles of observational, noninterventionist filmmaking, persuading the brothers to invite the Stones, months later, to watch the footage from Altamont, when for the first time they would witness the killing, in slow motion. With astonishing intimacy, the filmmakers thus captured Mick Jagger’s and Charlie Watts’s unguarded reactions to a tragedy in which they had been unwilling participants (and of which, perhaps, they were the unwitting authors). Zwerin then intercut this indelible material with the Maysleses’ footage of the 1 of 3 5/5/13 9:14 PM it’s only rock ’n’ roll: the rolling stones in film - artforum.com / ... http://artforum.com/inprint/issue=201209&id=36146 Stones’ tour, producing a modernist, fragmented, and achronological montage-structured film—one that figured Altamont as the apotheosis of the tour, and the killing, in turn, as the ultimate meaning of Altamont. Especially as it was contrasted with Woodstock, released eight months earlier and celebrating what was purportedly the utopian culmination of the era, Gimme Shelter furnished innumerable bromides about the dystopian ending of the ’60s. The Stones’ next tour of the United States (and Canada), in support of their double album Exile on Main St., was also documented on celluloid—this time in two films, very different from Gimme Shelter and from each other: Robert Frank’s Cocksucker Blues and Rollin Binzer’s Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones (1974). links In spring 1972, most of the Stones were in Los Angeles putting the finishing touches on Exile. Jagger, who had recently discovered Frank’s photographic collection The Americans (1958), invited the Swiss-born artist to shoot the album cover. But by the end of the ’50s, Frank had turned from still photography to film, collaborating, for example, with Alfred Leslie on the seminal underground film Pull My Daisy (1959), an ostensibly spontaneous and improvised short featuring Allen Ginsberg, Larry Rivers, Alice Neel, and other Beat generation icons. For the front of the gatefold cover, the album’s graphic designer, John Van Hamersveld, used a detail of Frank’s photograph Tattoo Parlor, 8th Avenue, New York City, 1958, and for the obverse and inside spread, as well as for the two record sleeves, he made collages of single frames and filmstrips blown up from the eight-minute film Frank shot of the band, S-8 Stones Footage from Exile on Main St. (1972), together with several photographs from The Americans. continued » page 1 2 3 4 5 2 of 3 5/5/13 9:14 PM it’s only rock ’n’ roll: the rolling stones in film - artforum.com / ... http://artforum.com/inprint/issue=201209&id=36146&pagenum=1 dleopard59 log out ADVERTISE BACK ISSUES CONTACT US SUBSCRIBE follow us search ARTGUIDE IN PRINT 500 WORDS PREVIEWS BOOKFORUM 中文版 DIARY PICKS NEWS VIDEO FILM SLANT A & E IN PRINT NOVEMBER 2012 IT’S ONLY ROCK ’N’ ROLL: THE ROLLING STONES IN FILM SUBSCRIBE Peter Whitehead, Charlie recent issues Is My Darling, 1965, 16 mm, black-and-white, May 2013 sound, 35 minutes.

December 2012 November 2012 Frank had filmed the Stones walking along Los Angeles’s Main Street, a working-class business district Archive to 1962 close to Skid Row, and they posed for him in the lush garden of Jagger’s rented Bel Air mansion. The jerky, handheld, low-resolution, and supposedly unedited footage is in fact intercut with shots of an African- American man strumming a toy guitar on the Bowery in New York and fleeting images of Jagger’s baby. Back on Main Street, the band are seen strolling unhindered on downtown sidewalks, passing signage for movie theaters, shoeshines, coffee shops, and pawnshops. Then, after posed group shots and individual close-ups in the garden, the scene shifts back to the Bowery, where another African-American man is seen dancing with great animation and bravura among cars in the street as he tries to earn tips for wiping windshields. This raw footage ends as abruptly as it began. The work’s informality reflects Frank’s underground aesthetic, and though the film is brief and enigmatic, it suggests that Frank associated the Stones with the alienated, sometimes minority, outsiders of The Americans. The locations and the in-camera montage link the band with the poor and with destitute black street artists. But the Stones are exiles on Main Street, forced into tax exile from England in part by the mismanagement of their considerable income. Visiting Skid Row with their long hair and exotic clothing, they are slumming tourists from another world and another social stratum. Similar tensions between entitlement and sleaze likewise inhabit Frank’s other film about the Stones. By 1972, the band’s always tenuous association with progressive social movements had seeped away in Keith Richards’s heroin addiction and Jagger’s ascent to high society. But, despite Altamont, the Stones had no intention of abandoning their place at the eye of a scofflaw crossfire cultural hurricane and always closed their set with the incendiary “Street Fighting Man.” Beginning with the first concert in Vancouver, the two-month, thirty-city tour was marked by riots, injuries, and arrests in half a dozen cities. Events backstage were often similarly violent and debauched. In response to the still-angry Hells Angels’ threats on Jagger’s life, Richards packed a revolver throughout, while the sex and drugs in the tour’s extended parties, including a three-day stay at the Chicago Playboy Mansion, reached epic levels. Cocksucker Blues follows what had become the standard structure of the rock ’n’ roll backstage-musical film, alternating between the spectacle of onstage performance and the narrative of the offstage scenes that link them.

  • 19.2 Evidence Monk.Pdf
    Black Music Research Journal Center for Black Music Research Columbia College Chicago Volume 19, #2 (Autumn 1999) Evidence: Monk as Documentary Subject By Krin Gabbard © 1999 Krin Gabbard Reprinted by permission of the Black Music Research Journal All rights reserved EVIDENCE: MONK AS DOCUMENTARY SUBJECT KRIN GABBARD For those familiar with Thelonious Monk only through recordings, the experience of first seeing him perform on film can be startling. The out- rageous hats, the splayed fingers, the sucked-in cheeks, the spastic danc- ing-all of it suggests a character with a story that goes well beyond the music. Yet for many years, Monk has been consistently presented as an inscrutable figure who could only be known through his music.' At least one filmmaker simply gave up trying to make sense of his puzzling exte- rior: when Bert Stem filmed the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival for Jazz on a Summer's Day (1958), he kept cutting away to shots of yacht races during the pianist's performance of "Blue Monk"; Monk is onscreen for less than thirty seconds. More ambitious filmmakers have extended a more search- ing gaze in three documentaries that provide strikingly different approaches to how Monk might be understood. The title of Matthew Seig's 1991 documentary is itself significant; Thelonious Monk: American Composer presents a dedicated artist and family man who created a spir- 1. With one exception, Monk's English-language biographers and commentators have concentrated more on his music than on his life. Like many books devoted to a single jazz artist, Fitterling's (1997) book is more of an annotated discography than a biography of Monk.

    UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05773954 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Ebeling, Betsy < B6 Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 11:03 AM To: Subject: for your mom Keith Richards Has Memories to Burn By JANET MASLIN It is 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time in the New York office of Keith Richards's manager, a place that might look ordinary if every wall and shelf were not crammed with some of the world's most glorious rock 'n' roll memorabilia. Mr. Richards has a 3 o'clock appointment. "Come on in, he'll be here in a minute," an assistant says — and here he comes in a minute, at 3:01. This from a man who once prided himself for operating on Keith Time, as in: the security staff ate the shepherd's pie that Keith wanted in his dressing room? Then everyone in this packed stadium can bloody well wait. The Rolling Stones don't play until another shepherd's pie shows up. Chalk up the promptness to the man's new incarnation: he is now Keith Richards, distinguished author. True, he is far from the only rock star to turn memoirist, and far from the only Rolling Stone to write a book about himself — very much about himself. The raven-haired Ron Wood wrote "Ronnie," in which he described Brian Jones as "me in a blond wig." Bill Wyman, the band's retired bass player and bean counter, wrote "Stone Alone," in which not a 15-shilling demo disc went unmentioned.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • Charlotte Zwerin, 72; Worked on Stones Film 'Gimme Shelter' - Los Ang
    Charlotte Zwerin, 72; Worked on Stones Film 'Gimme Shelter' - Los Ang... https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-jan-31-me-zwerin31-stor... Charlotte Zwerin, who was in the vanguard of American documentary filmmaking for four decades as an editor and director and who collaborated with David and Albert Maysles on the landmark “Gimme Shelter,” has died. She was 72. Zwerin, whose documentaries frequently focused on visual artists and jazz legends, died of lung cancer Jan. 22 at her home in Manhattan. Zwerin’s talent for structuring narratives in the editing room earned her a co-director credit after she edited the Maysleses’ documentaries “Meet Marlon Brando” and “A Visit with Truman Capote” (both 1966). “When it comes to editing documentary material, she was the best by far,” Albert Maysles told The Times this week. Zwerin’s most notable collaborations with the Maysles brothers as co-director were “Salesman” (1969), a feature-length chronicle about four Boston-based door-to-door Bible salesmen; and “Gimme Shelter” (1970), a feature-length documentary on the Rolling Stones’ 1969 American tour. The tour ended with the Stones’ notorious free concert at Altamont Speedway in Livermore, Calif., where members of the Hells Angels, serving as security guards, brawled with out-of- control fans in the crowd of 300,000 and stabbed a black teenager to death after the youth charged the stage with a gun. After learning that the Rolling Stones wanted to view footage of the concert, Zwerin suggested to 1 of 5 9/8/2019, 2:11 PM Charlotte Zwerin, 72; Worked on Stones Film 'Gimme Shelter' - Los Ang..

A chance meeting between 2 old friends at Dartford railway station marked the beginning of 50 years of rock and roll. In the early 1950s, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were childhood friends and classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Kent until their families moved apart.[8] In 1960, the pair met again on their way to college at Dartford railway station. The Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records that Jagger carried revealed a mutual interest. They began forming a band with Dick Taylor and Brian Jones from Blues Incorporated. This band also contained two other future members of the Rolling Stones: Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts.[11] So how did the name come about? Well according to Richards, Jones christened the band during a phone call to Jazz News.
