Movie and Television Soundtracks and Screen Appearances
Early appearances with Leon Redbone and A Prairie Home Companion and then lending his musical and acting talents to Francis Ford Coppola’s film "The Cotton Club", led to working with Dick Hyman’s Orchestra in half a dozen Woody Allen soundtracks, then acting as a bass player, most notably in Sean Penn’s band in Woody’s "Sweet And Lowdown". He and the band have been both onscreen and in the studio for Gus Van Sant’s film "Finding Forrester"; in Martin Scorsese’s "The Aviator"; and Sam Mendes’ film "Revolutionary Road". Other recording projects include soundtracks for Terry Zwigoff’s "Ghost World"; Tamara Jenkins’s "The Savages"; Robert De Niro’s film, "The Good Shepherd"; Sam Mendes’ "Away We Go"; Michael Mann’s film "Public Enemies", along with HBO’s – "Grey Gardens" and Todd Haynes’ HBO mini-series "Mildred Pierce".

Famous quotes containing the words movie, television and/or appearances:
“Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straightshooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“History is not what you thought. It is what you can remember. All other history defeats itself.
In Beverly Hills ... they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will.”
—Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
