    Jazz, Apartheid and the Brubeck Legacy in PLAYING THE CHANGES: TRACKING DARIUS BRUBECK

    This episode sees Mark in conversation with jazz musician Darius Brubeck and documentary filmmaker Michiel ten Kleij to discuss their documentary Playing the Changes: Tracking Darius Brubeck, which traces how jazz became a quiet force for political change in apartheid-era South Africa. Ten Kleij explains how a planned film about the 1958 Brubeck Quartet tour behind the Iron Curtain evolved, once a rival BBC documentary was announced, into a broader, independently-financed story spanning Poland and Durban. Darius Brubeck reflects candidly on growing up in his father's shadow, the 'dynastic' continuity jazz offered black South African audiences under apartheid, and the guidance of his wife Catherine in shaping how he used his own talents for purpose rather than pure virtuosity. This episode was recorded at the Provence Arts Festival du Film, an annual festival founded by Lucy Darwin, dedicated to documentary cinema and the arts held in the hilltop village of Ménerbes, which this year focused on music documentaries. This episode was produced by Hedda Lornie Archbold and recorded and edited by Richard Gay.

    Great Soundtrack, Shame About the Film

    Recorded in the mosquito-infested fields of Latitude Festival, Mark and Jack dig into film music to mark the paperback release of Mark's book Surround Sound: The Stories of Movie Music, co-written with Jenny Nelson. They talk composer-director shorthand including John Williams and the "shark" scene from Jaws, Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan's one-page brief for Interstellar; they discuss the "great soundtrack, shame about the film" phenomenon referencing S. Darko, Cannibal Holocaust, Exorcist II: The Heretic; and how Jack worked with composer Benjamin Squires on his own short film The Second Time Around. Mark also talks about Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and the eerie 15/8 time signature that makes The Exorcist's theme feel so wrong, and gives some hard-won advice on sticking with a creative career when nobody's paying you yet. Titles mentioned in this episode include: Spider-Man The Social Network Drive Interstellar Man of Steel Superman The Lord of the Rings Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy The Wolfman (2010) Jennifer 8 S. Darko Donnie Darko Cannibal Holocaust Exorcist II: The Heretic The Exorcist Don't Look Now E.T. Jaws Jurassic Park You Were Never Really Here There Will Be Blood The Zone of Interest Wicked / Wicked: for Good Mary Poppins (Blunt-era) Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me Blade Runner Drive My Car Psycho Suspiria The Shining The Odyssey The Second Time Around (Jack Howard's brilliant short film, now available on Channel 4) This episode was produced by Hedda Lornie Archbold and Nicki Glossop, and edited by Jack Howard.   Recorded by Richard Gay.
