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". The Nighthawks were also featured as performers on Season Three of USA Network's "Royal Pains".

Famous quotes containing the words movie, television, screen and/or appearances:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
“The screen of supreme good fortune curved his absolute smile into a celestial scream.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
