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.
