What he has done with exposing "older" music to the world through his
soundtracks is another ball game. Clint Eastwood has done the same, to a
lesser degree, but I don't believe he surrounds himself with musicians &
goes out to play publicly.
I agree with that and always enjoyed his films for it but the only reason
he is allowed to play as a professional at all is because of his name which
is the only draw for him and the good musicians he hires to play with him.
The worst of us, OKOM fans, could do that same if we had the name, in
another field and the money to do it.
Is there really a band leader here who would hire him if he wasn't Woody
Allen? I doubt that.
