Jazz Before the Oscars - Part 1 [Mondo Jazz 277-1]

In a few days the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood will host the Academy Awards, and so we thought that it would be a lot of fun to come up with an episode of Mondo Jazz featuring exclusively tunes inspired by, dedicated to, or titled after movie stars (regardless of whether or not they have won any Oscar awards). The playlist features The Stance Brothers; Vienna Art Orchestra; Exploding Pig; Adam O'Farrill; Steinar Raknes; Pete Rugolo; Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond; Shorty Rogers; Wergeld; Miles Davis; and Rachelle Garniez. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/18614498/Mondo-Jazz (up to “Jean Claude Van Damme”). Happy listening!
