I think the reason that "The Jungle Book" has remained my favourite feature has a lot to do with its jazzy, swinging songs. Same thing with Peggy Lee's "He's a Tramp" in "Lady and the Tramp". I also love Hoyt Curtin's jazzy theme songs for the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons (especially "Top Cat") and the great Vince Guaraldi's scores for the "Peanuts" TV specials. Can you imagine a TV exec greenlighting something as inspired as that today? More likely it would have some inane rock crap accompanying it these days.<BR/><BR/>Oscar Peterson's music for a couple or so NFB animated shorts from my childhood is a memory that resonates with me to this day. There's just something so playful about that combination. I really loved Oscar's music.Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-21596483261745783172008-01-04T19:50:00.000-08:002008-01-04T19:50:00.000-08:00Man Oh Man-Yo, P.E. you sure captured O.P. on the ...Man Oh Man-Yo, P.E. you sure captured O.P. on the Downbeat, Fantastic as usual-- You know, Jazz and Cartoons and the artists of both have alot in common, I think, having graduated from North Texas, and sharing a morning show with the great Chris Deridas for two years, and being a cartoonist for awhile. Hubley worked with Peterson on a couple of animated shorts, and quipped about the feelings and moods between the arts as synchopated, mixing music tones in one, color tones in the other.Bill Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811720663765452460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-30098788284116448722008-01-04T15:03:00.000-08:002008-01-04T15:03:00.000-08:00pretty coooooooolpretty coooooooolMarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142314291470824200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-82871253578544712482008-01-02T19:36:00.000-08:002008-01-02T19:36:00.000-08:00Peterson was one of the last connections we had to...Peterson was one of the last connections we had to the older world of jazz.
