[Dixielandjazz] Re: Pro Musicians and Lipsynching

[Bill Haesler]

Right on Bob,
Which brings to mind the film 'Dingo' featuring Miles Davis as on-screen
mentor, Billy Cross, to Australia actor Colin Friels.
This 1991 film was made in Australia and Paris [France].
As we know, Miles never played the same thing twice and hated taking
instructions from ANYONE. He wasn't interested in even trying to lip-sync to
the prerecorded soundtrack for the film - and said so.
Watch it carefully and you will see few, if any, close-in shots of his
fingering.
A silly, but good enough film.
Kind regards,
Bill.
