Duke Ellington – Recording “Anatomy of a Murder” Score – Los Angeles, 1959
Otto Preminger’s 1959 courtroom drama, “Anatomy of a Murder,” was the first major Hollywood production to deploy an extensive jazz score. Duke Ellington’s groundbreaking compositions for the film, an elegant and fluid combination of complex moods and rhythm, broke with programmatic musical tradition. The non-literal direction of Ellington’s score evoked emotional and psychological nuance eons beyond mere plot diagrams, creating a dynamic new musical language for cinema in the process. Ellington himself had a cameo role in the film, appearing as “Pie-Eye,” the proprietor of a roadhouse. Photographer John Hamilton snapped the Duke in an LA recording studio working on the “Anatomy of a Murder” score in 1959.

“Time Out” with Dave Brubeck – July 1959
In the summer of 1959, the Dave Brubeck Quartet — Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (alto saxophone), Eugene Wright (double bass) and Joe Morello (drums) — laid down three sessions (June 25, July 1, August 18) in the 30th Street Studio with producer Teo Macero for an experiment in polyrhythmic cool jazz called “Time Out.” The album’s defining track, “Take Five,” with its eternal sax hook and quintuple time signature has become one of the most enduring jazz standards of all-time. This Don Hunstein snapshot of the Brubeck Quartet captures the essential magic of that in those sessions.

Charles Mingus Laughing in Studio, May 1959
Jazz bassist/pianist/composer/bandleader Charles Mingus came to Columbia Records in 1959 and in the course of a single year, wrote and recorded two groundbreaking albums– “Mingus Ah Um” and “Mingus Dynasty”–which combined the discipline of sophisticated composition with the freedom of avant-garde exploration. Shot in May 1959, this Don Hunstein portrait of Charles Mingus in the studio captures the formidable humor and spontaneity of the artist as he cracks up mid-session at some off-camera hi-jinks.
