Hot Ptah Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Though not classified as a jazz artist, Frank Zappa quoted Stravinsky on several recordings and live occasions.. One example is the guitar section in the middle of "Status Back Baby," from the "Absolutely Free" album. ("I'm losing status at my high school.") Quote
Free For All Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Sort of on topic, at the end of Woody Herman's Apple Honey (depending on what version you have) the trumpet section plays a quote from Petroushka. Quote
Shawn Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Rights of Swing by Phil Woods on the Candid label. In the liner notes Woods tells how when he was a boy there was a 78 rpm album of the Rite of Spring in his parents' record collection. He really loved the music and would often play the several 78 sides out of sequence. This childhood experience inspired the music he wrote for his Candid album. Is Rights of Swing considered a good album? I've only listened to it a couple times but remember digging it. Quote
