Thursday, January 20 • 8 pm EST • Postmambo Movie Night presents Pull My Daisy (Robert Frank, 1959). We'll talk to the film's composer, David Amram, who sat next to Kerouac in the studio as he improvised the voice-over narration. David is still gigging at the age of 91! We'll talk with him about his scores for The Manchurian Candidate and Splendor in the Grass, his friendship with Thelonius Monk, his visit to then-forbidden Cuba on the path-breaking 1977 "jazz cruise," and lots more.

"Host Ned Sublette is the BEST scholar of jazz as far as the Afro-Cuban-Haitian-New Orleans connection as well as all roots musics" ... David Amram
