About this deal

Julie’s description of the music of Paris, the Chorus was interesting and would have loved to hear more rather than bus & metro journeys. At the 34th Academy Awards for films from 1961, Ellington was nominated for the Oscar for Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture but the award was given, rather expectedly, to Saul Chaplin, Johnny Green, Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal for West Side Story. The award was part of the ten (10) Oscar juggernaut awarded to West Side Story that year. Music plays a big part in this story. It is music that brings them together in the first place, and the thing that they bond over so intensely, creating an emotional connection well before anything else. The music is so instrumental to their relationship, in fact, that Scolnik provides an index at the end of the pieces that meant the most to them. It’s a sentimental addition that creates another layer of vulnerability to the story being told.

Some of the musicians' great but little known work is recorded in these movies. But underlying the beautiful work, this story is one of political exile as well as cultural refuge. For a moment Paris became a jazz capital of the world as well as the free-thinking centre of Europe - a rebuke to prejudice in America, even as it had growing racial tensions of its own. In sum: you don’t have to be a jazz buff to thoroughly enjoy Paris Blues, but if you are a fan you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. First loves only happen once a lifetime, and as such are memorable, for better or worse. In that vein, what could be a more memorable, or magical, experience than finding that love in Paris, a city well known for its romance? For Julie, a 20-year-old music student from a small town in Main, that’s exactly what happened. Furthering her musical talents, and trying to broaden her horizons in a city full of culture, Julie meets Luc, an older man who shares her passionate love of music and art. As the story so often goes, from that moment on, her life was never the same. The Dukely presence was sheltered, and his wants attended to, by an old friend who saw to his meals (Duke is a somewhat exacting eater), acted as interpreter and whose extreme elegance would be enough to stir the muse in the most veritable clodhopper imaginable. And recently it should be noted, the Ducal muse has been working overtime. “I’ve written more in the past year, than I’ve done for the five years previously,” he said. “But one can’t keep it bottled up, can one? Like this good French wine, it doesn’t keep for ever you know.” This is how the story unfolds as Julie recalls the first serous love of her life, Luc. She’s twenty, very pretty, and somewhat naive—an American college student in Paris during her year of study abroad. He’s in his late twenties, a former student radical, a legal bureaucrat for the French government. He’s hoping to join a legal firm someday. Both are smart. Both love classical music. She wants to perfect her French. He wants to learn English. When they notice each other during rehearsals of the Chorus of the Orchestra of Paris, this is a dream come true.In Jazz Journal, March 1961, in an article titled “With Duke and Louis in Paris”, editor Sinclair Traill reflected on Paris Blues and interviewed Ellington and Armstrong: But now we notice something new: Our reprimands are turning inward. Haven’t we made the same mistakes as Julie? Wasn’t there a first love—or a second, or third—the dismal ashes of which still conceal a glowing ember? Jazz writer Kevin Legendre explores the encounter between American modern jazz and the French New wave in Paris in the late 1950s and 60s. The story is nothing too deep. Two musicians, one coloured, one white, meet up with two girls in Paris, and what one would expect to ensue obligingly ensues. The drug problem rears its ugly head; Paul Newman (Ram Bowen, a trombonist) writes a jazz concerto; but it all manages to end fairly happily. Louis plays the part of a visiting American jazz celebrity (Wild Man Moore), complete with his own band – not the All Stars – and mugs his way through his part with his usual infectious, gay abandon.

It’s a challenge if the person you love deeply is color blind. What if they see everything as one shade or other of the color blue? How will you share the multitude of vivid colors that surround you? But if the person you love also suffers from an apparent emotional blindness, the challenges threaten to become insurmountable; the blueness of everything begins to seep into your soul. This is not merely a movie about race, jazz, drug use, love affairs, Parisian scenery, etc. It's a movie about all the aforementioned and then some. Ritt & Co. go deeper than just superficially touching on so-called hip, trendy issues. Each character portrayed has his/her own set of "blues" to contend with and no individual set of "blues" is merely confined to one sole issue, but rather a complex mixture of many factors that comprise each of our character's makeup. It is in the intertwining of each character's individual persona with the other characters' own traits and idiosyncrasies that lets the story unfold and take cohesive shape. Successes and failures are inextricably linked, as in Ram's (Newman) fame as a jazz soloist counterpointed with his rejection as a serious composer/arranger. Eddie (Poitier) also has his own set of personal conflicts that are duly explored here. The hexadecimal color code #3b558f is a medium dark shade of blue. In the RGB color model #3b558f is comprised of 23.14% red, 33.33% green and 56.08% blue. In the HSL color space #3b558f has a hue of 221° (degrees), 42% saturation and 40% lightness. This color has an approximate wavelength of 472.79 nm. On his way to see Wild Man Moore at the train station, Ram Bowen, a jazz musician living in Paris, encounters a newly arrived tourist named Connie Lampson and invites her to see him perform that night at Club 33. Connie is not interested, but her friend Lillian insists they go see him. After Ram finishes performing with Eddie, a fellow American expatriate, the four of them leave the club in the early morning. When Ram suggests that he and Connie go off to have a private breakfast together, she becomes offended, and Ram is angered at being rejected. However, Lillian, undeterred by Ram's attraction to her friend, convinces him to apologize before pursuing him. The two sleep together while Connie and Eddie continue to walk around Paris.

Color Charts The treatment we got during the whole of our tour,” she says, “was wonderful. Everywhere they took to Louis’ music and came in thousands. It was different to last time – they seemed to appreciate the music more. Kinda’ got with it more. Danny Barcelona’s drum solos stopped nearly every show, yet the time before they didn’t take too much notice of the drums. Louis says they’re getting to know the beat. I was relieved they did like the show, as with all those bottles lying around it would have been dangerous if they hadn’t! Oh, they were Pepsi bottles – they must have drunk millions of gallons. You see the only entrance fee charged was a top from a Pepsi bottle. But they had to open the bottle before they could get in, because on the inside of the crown top was a picture of Louis – and that was what they had to show at the gate. We were entertained by all the rulers everywhere. Velma and I were even invited to visit a harem – a thing which had never been done before.” Paris Blue is an RAL Design color with the number 240 85 15. Different from the Classic list, the RAL Design catalogue specifies colors for interiors. RAL is a well-known color matching system used in several European countries including Germany, France, Italy and the UK. In place of the travelogue element, we get a lovely scene in which Sidney Poitier (Eddie Cook), and Diahann Carroll (Connie Lampson) stroll around the Bird Market on Île de la Cité. Although they are in love, Eddie is in Paris primarily because Parisians are noted for being colour blind and he is judged solely on his skill as a saxophonist rather than the colour of his skin. Connie, however, is active in the struggle for racial equality and urges Eddie to return with her to the US and stand up to be counted. The other relationship is more intense (Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were, of course, husband-and-wife offscreen, and this was the fourth time they had appeared together on screen). Newman’s Ram Bowen is both selfish, arrogant and ambitious, with eyes to become a serious composer, and not really prepared to take on Woodward’s Lillian Corning – a divorcee with two children – full time. Throw in a sub-plot about the group’s guitarist Michel “Gypsy” Devigne (Serge Reggiani) – a clear reference to Django Reinhardt – and his heroin addiction, and we’re looking at a fairly rich bouillabaisse, before we even mention the music.

Yeh,” broke in Louis, “but that old Sultana wouldn’t let me in, even when I tol’ him none of them ladies had anything Lucille hadn’t got – but better!” The story would end there. Close the book. Happy End. But, little by little, troubling things about Luc give us warning signs. Fairly early on, we, the reader, want to tell Julie, “Stop!” “Say no!” “This is not going to end well!” The music is nothing less than a delight. After scoring Anatomy Of A Murder, Duke Ellington had obviously acquired a taste for the silver screen and turned in something that was nominated for a 1961 Oscar (though it lost, unsurprisingly to West Side Story).Paris in the civil rights era was a hub of artistic collaboration as well as a kind of political refuge - a destination for American jazz musicians escaping racial prejudice and turbulence at home, finding new creative encounters abroad.

This book reminds us of several books that we've read this year: “No Perfect Love” by Dr. Alyson Nerenberg (non-fiction) and “A Major League Love” by Domenic Melillo (fiction). All of these books highlight the twists and turns that life and love can take. Something unique about “Paris Blue” by Julie Scolnik, however, is that it especially highlights the “rose-tinted goggles” of idealism that lovers often have at first, leading to disappointments and shattered expectations. It's about what happens when the perfect love isn't so perfect, and it's also about a woman's journey to self-discovery. The admiration was mutual - French cinephiles loved American jazz. The film score became a key area of collaboration as jazz musicians worked closely with a younger generation of radical directors that made up the French new wave. These scores elevated French films to new levels of intensity, cool and atmosphere. Rhino Entertainment Company.

Sidney Poiter and Paul Newman, they’re supposed to be jazz musicians. Paul plays trombone; he’s really bin’ takin’ lessons from Billy Byers, who plays the music for the film. Sidney, he’s supposed to be a saxophone man. That French cat Guy Lafitte taught him to hold his horn right. Duke got the band sounding his way and some of the music is real pretty. When Hugues Panassié heard some of the tapes, he just lifted up his hands, French fashion, and cried with joy. ‘What are you doing to our musicians?’ he said. ‘You have inspired them!'”
