Jazz is musical improvisation; it is the art of the moment. In the recording of jazz, the inspiration and inventiveness of this moment is made permanent by technology, giving pleasure many years after the performance.

I'll always think of him in A Face in the Crowd. That was some great acting. Quite different from the later folksy stuff, which I had trouble watching.

A great movie, that and No Time for Sergeants are some of the reasons my dad still have a VCR in his basement
(yes, yes, you can find it on DVD but that's a whole other argument)

Face in the Crowd was an excellent movie. Kazan and Schulberg anticipated the "empty suit" politicians by 50 years.

RIP, Andy. He was a fine actor--could play mean characters just as well as the folksy.

For folks outside the Netflix etc orbit, this movie will be on Turner Classic at 1.45am Eastern time on Friday morning

I strongly recommend that. I first stumbled across it a few years ago. It's as if he wanted savagely to satirize his entire future; although, of course, he never became the demon that he played in the movie.

Thanks for the heads-up--just set up the DVR to record it.
