Halloween Music - What Are You Spinning?

[Teasing the Korean]

I'm listening to:

 

Rober Cobert - House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows

Les Baxter - Black Sunday and Baron Blood

James Bernard - The Devil Rides Out (a collection of music from Hammer films).

 

Have also been spinning some Morricone giallo scores.

Here's a Take Five list I wrote for NPR's A Blog Supreme:

Five Hauntingly Hip Sides For Your Jazz Halloween

[JSngry]

Nothing raises suburban eyebrows like a little ritual Santeria music playing in the background when little Megan & Ryan come to the door!

One year I had Albert Ayler's "Witches and Devils" playing for the benefit of the trick-or-treaters. The first little girl (about 6 years old) who came to the door started crying when she heard it. I shut it off quickly.

[JSngry]

Couldn't really go with this any more, since it's all come back around...but this is as scary as anything out there, and not in some cartoonish way...

[JSngry]

Let's go with this one instead:

[Clunky]

At a Halloween gig a few years ago Ethan Iverson played a very spooky sounding "Autumn Leaves", worked very well

[paul secor]

I could play Albert Ayler's "Spirits" from the original ESP Spiritual Unity album. Always seemed a little scarey to me. Unfortunately, it may spook my wife, so I don't think I'll play it.

[Big Al]

Not jazz, but every year I put my CD boombox out front and play the Ventures "Fear (Main Title theme from 'One Step Beyond')" from the IN SPACE album. Gets lots of compliments for its eerie sound.

[JSngry]

Maybe I'll dress up as Phil Spector, LTB as Cher, and answer the door with this playing...

That's a real record, btw. Spector recoded a few sides with Cher @ the peak of her 70s fame, pretty scary stuff all by itself, but knowing the whole Spector backstory now...nothing says BOO! like Homicidally Inclined Psychotically Frustrated Megalomania!!!

Ghost, which Ellingtom album has that monster track?

[ghost of miles]

Ghost, which Ellingtom album has that monster track?

The Symphonic Ellington. It's also included in Mosaic's Ellington Reprise set.

[Utevsky]

For Halloween on my radio show, I played around with some seemingly appropriate song titles and creepy sounding tunes. The playlist is posted in the "Straight, No Chaser Playlists" thread:

And you can listen to it here:

This year I went with Andrew Hill's Dance with Death, a little creepy at times but not too scary.

[A Lark Ascending]

'Trick or Treaters' on a spit over a large fire.

Ranks with McDonalds, Starbucks and syphilis as one of the more unwelcome imports from the Americas.

This year I went with Andrew Hill's Dance with Death, a little creepy at times but not too scary.

I was spinning this, as well as Black Fire and Smokestack, as the little kiddies came to the door. Didn't seem to scare them away...
