That's Vincent (Tom Cruise) in Collateral.In the same scene there's a jazz combo playing and to my ears it sounded "live", i.e. not made in a recording studio. For what it's worth, I can almost always tell the difference in any form of music. What Vincent astonishingly does, is finger the reason why.
This could be the most literately musical movie, at least for a few minutes, ever made.

Not if you were in the film. Vincent (Cruise) dispathes the trumpeter/club owner who gives that answer, observing that Miles quickly left Julliard to apprentice with Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, and he stayed with Bird until late 1948. (Bird replaced him with Kenny Dorham, who also replaced the late Clifford Brown in Max Roach's band in 1956). Miles' next project was the three "Birth of the Cool" recording sessions in 1949 and 1950. A version of that nonet appeared at the Royal Roost in 1948.BTW, it's spelled "Thelonious". Critic Ira Gitler once observed that if Monk had a dime for every time his named was mis-spelled he'd be a rich man.
Not that this has anything to do with the film, but was it during Miles' period with Bird that he (Miles) began using smack?I know they both had probs with heroin (Bird started using around the age of 16?) and that while Miles eventually kicked, Parker used until the time of his death........
I believe Miles got seriously into the habit after his Paris visit in 1949. He finally kicked it cold turkey in 1954 and shortly after was a star soloist in the Newport Jazz Festival, kickstarting his heretofore downward spiraling career. He later became a coke head after his "return" in 1981.
Hey, I saw this flick over the weekend and thought it was pretty good. A little slow down about 2/3 the way through, but overall a solid movie. I really didn't have much interest in seeing another Cruise flick until I found out that Mann was the director. The jazz scene was terrific too - especially because I knew the answer to Vincent's question :-)
I too knew the answer abut restrained myself from shouting it out.
...you're a little harsh on Tom. Did you see Vanilla Sky?clark
You know, I been meaning to catch that one because everyone said it was so bad. Cameron Crowe directed VS right?I wouldn't say that Cruise is one of my fav (or least) fav actors, its just that he's done so many movies that I'm kinda tired of him. But I was pleasantly surprised with his most recent effort.
you gotta roll with it. adapt. darwin. i-ching.you got that right, clark. :-)

Vincent dialogue from the flick (in cab).
...I was quoting Max's reaction. Remember?clark
Sorry.

The tune is "Spanish Key" and the studio version is on the Bitches Brew album. The question is a trick one since both Julliard and Bird are correct answers (Bird more accurate, however).
But did you like the movie? I did!clark
I liked it very much. The best Summer film I have seen. I posted on it below.
How did you do?
Answer that question right and you live! ;^)AuPh
Got a new lover? Or both?
As for you....
Of course, I can't speak for you and/or Victor, nor would I be so inclined if I could, but since it's a GOOD film, the Vegas odds would probably be pretty darn long in your case. ;^)AuPh
I can not speak with me either...As I did not see it. Of course curious as i am I check the tailer...The taxy guy seem to do a good job....
