Blues in The Night (film) - Music

Music

The film's music is by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Additional music was written by Heinz Roemheld and Ray Heindorf (only Roemheld was credited). The film features the bands of Jimmie Lunceford and Will Osborne. With the exception of Priscilla Lane none of the actors were musicians so their playing had to be dubbed by other artists. The trumpet music performed by Jack Carson's character was dubbed by Snooky Young and Frankie Zinzer while the piano music was dubbed by Stan Wrightsman. Saxophonist and clarinetist Archie Rosate played Elia Kazan's clarinet solos.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “See where my Love sits in the beds of spices,
    Beset all round with camphor, myrrh, and roses,
    And interlaced with curious devices
    Which her apart from all the world incloses!
    There doth she tune her lute for her delight,
    And with sweet music makes the ground to move,
    Whilst I, poor I, do sit in heavy plight,
    Wailing alone my unrespected love;”
    —Bartholomew Griffin (d. 1602)

    “Not to sink under being man and wife,
    But get some color and music out of life?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Now the rich stream of Music winds along
    Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,”
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
