4a) In Appreciation of Raymond Scott

 

4a1) Raymond Scott "Powerhouse" (Various Performers)
One of the more anarchic bits of music accompanying the antics of the Looney Tunes crew.

 

4a2) Raymond Scott Quintette "Powerhouse"


 

4b) Raymond Scott "Naked City" 
"The recording of “Naked City” featured here is a brilliant recreation of the Scott original, in sparkling sound, made by Jan Stulen, conducting the Metropole Orchestra. The Metropole Orchestra is a multiple Grammy winning jazz and pop orchestra based in the Netherlands, and is the largest full-time ensemble of its kind in the world." 


4c) "Scott called his music “descriptive jazz”—his name for a novel chamber music style that drew on the propulsive drive of swing, with all the riffs and syncopation of that dance style, but with less improvisation and proclaiming a taste for extravagant, quasi-industrial sounds. It was like techno before there was techno, but with a jitterbug sensibility." 




 

4e) Callithumpian Consort "For Your Eyes Only" Composed by John Zorn
