The guitar playing is one ofthe main characters in this film in ‘iy opinion, and this is perfect casting. —Bob Patterson Jarz Guitar Online ‘Alden has assimilated the music of such guitarists as Eddie Lang.

After we had recorded it, Woody asked Dick to ask me to play just one chorus of the tune, solo guitar, and | ad-libbed a rubato version of it, playing it much as | imagined Eddie Lang might have played it. Woody wound up using this as the main romantic theme throughout the movie. Samantha Morton as “Hattie,” Emmett's mute girlfriend, gets mesmerised and falls into a romantic trance whenever she hears Emmett play it, whether in the bedroom or on the road while she's changing a flat tire (Emmett wouldn't dare take the risk of hurting his hands). Emmett also plays it in the final scene of the movie, as he realizes what a mistake he had made in letting Hattie go-right before he smashes his guitar into a telephone pole. For some reason the solo gui- tar version wasn't included on the movie soundtrack album, although I recorded it on my duo CD with Bucky Pizzarelli, “In A Mellow Tone” for Concord Records. | played this tune with a pick, but it would also work very well finger style.

In the film, its the tune that Emmett and his band are playing when ‘ he descends from the fly space of the theater seated on a crescent moon that : he had designed to spice up his presentation. Halfway through the first chorus ; he loses his balance, slips, stumbles and crashes onto the stage. Not exactly the spectacular entrance he had in mind (although he does manage to grab his gui- tar and keep playing after the fall). On the soundtrack album you can hear the ' full version we recorded, with several ad-lib choruses and an arranged ending. iSweet Georgia Brown Howard Alden Guitar Solo Words and music by (as “Emmett Ray” in Ben Bernie, Maceo Pinkard “Sweet and Lowdown") and Kenneth Casey F7 87 © 1995 (Renewed) Warner Bros.

In the final version of the movie we only hear the last couple of chords of the piece, although the full version is on the soundtrack album on Sony Classical Records. A few weeks after we had made a demo recording of "Unfaithful Woman,” Woody asked Dick to write a more virtuosic guitar feature piece, and he came up with “E" is for Emmett’ (appropriately enough in the guitar player's key of E). Its in the tradition of the ‘30s American guitarists like Dick McDonough and Carl Kress, with its swinging chordal riffs and contrasting slow middle section. Woody decided not to use this piece in the film, but | recorded both “E” is for Emmett’ and “Unfaithful Woman” on my 2002 solo guitar CD "My Shining Hour” on Concord Records. | think they are both nice additions to the solo plectrum jazz guitar repertoire. | made practically no changes to the pieces as Dick wrote them, other than adding a few guitaristic flourishes (like the harmonics at the end of “Unfaithful Woman"). When | asked Dick how he had learned to write voicings that worked so well on the guitar, he told me it was from spending years in the studios with guitarists like Tony Mottola, Al Caiola, and Bucky Pizzarelli, and observing what kind of things worked for them. 41Unfaithful Woman As Played by Howard Alden Dick Hyman ‘on “My Shining Hour” from “Sweet and Lowdown” Rubato—Slowly and reflectively GMajr codt1) GMaj7 C13 FMaj7 Brot) FMai7 Bho AMaj7 Dis.

The introduction and end- ing that was sketched out by Dick Hyman features some harmonized guitar and clarinet passages. The parallel thirds could be played as double stops on the gui- tar although on the recording they were played by two separate instruments. I've included Ken Peplowsk's half chorus that he improvised on clarinet. This track was used in the movie while Emmett’s quintet was doing a gig on the Jersey shore, and it can also be heard during the closing credits. 50 NnAAARANRANDRARDARADRARARADARADAHARAHARHRTHHRHRRHRRKRPRRRRR RRR KR!],Cee beaded bododsdbsbdddodsdbsdddsdbsdsdddddded Howard Alden Guitar Solo Words by Cecil Mack & Lew Brown (as “Emmett Ray” in Music by Ford Dabney “Sweet and Lowdown") intro (with Clarinet) o-190 "AY fae 7S Lad e ENG Ghai BOF Bbr eb eb Ghaim7 BHF Bi7 AT AY © 1910, 1924, 1948 Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc.

Emmett decides to compete, along with such diverse acts as a musical saw player, a guy doing bird calls and whistles, a lady singing hyms, etc. Not wanting to appear pro- fessional, he tells the Master of Ceremonies that he’s a traveling seed salesman, ‘and has had just a few lessons on the guitar. He tries to maintain this illusion by playing the first half of the tune slowly and falteringly, but then he has to tear loose and show everyone what he can do, with a chorus and a half of single line improvisation interspersed with chord punctuations on the old standard, “12th Street Rag.” He collects the prize money and gets out of town very quickly. This tune was not included on the soundtrack CD, but can be heard on the VHS tape ‘or DVD of the movie (the first, slow and stumbling part was shortened in the film, but here, you'll have to suffer through alll eighteen agonizing bars of it).bee bb 12th Street Rag Howard Alden Guitar Solo By Euday Bowman (as “Emmett Ray” in Arranged by Howard Alden “Sweet and Lowdown") G7 c Slowly-stumblingly 3—2-8-5-3: G7 G7 (© 1999 Geranium Music (ASCAP) and Eastlake Music, Inc.
