I like this film - Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk and Cassavetes are great! Thanks for sharing!

[fredoviola]

the scene with the singing is absolutely one of my very favorites, which just goes to show it takes all kinds...

I wish I could find that piece of music. It's super cool.

[spagandtuna]

Like the film but agree somewhat that some scenes continue long after point is made---the singing at the bar sequence was interminable. But who could not love all three but esp. BEN G in this film???

[duarte3]

between the two it sound more like carter than davis to me, but could easily be someone else. they phrase part of "when johnny comes marching home" towards the end.

[duarte3]

...it sounds like it starts out with solo bass and drums to have a cello or second bass come in on top?  ...maybe eldee young with red holt and another bass?

[dandiacal]

I'm trying to figure out if the bassist is Richard Davis or Ron Carter. Anyone know?

[goldsmice]

I have no idea; it could just as easily be some random studio bassist, someone who recorded a lot of studio work but whose name is unknown to most people. Herbie Flowers, for instance, played the unforgettable bass riff in Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" (combining a double bass and electric bass, one of the only bass lines of any rock song with two basses playing at once) but how many people know who he is?

[dandiacal]

For an acoustic bassist, especially in jazz tone is very distinctive. I seriously doubt it is an unknown studio player. It SOUNDS like Carter. Its in the phrasing too.

@goldsmice UNMATCHABLE BIT OF FRIVOLITY MI AMIGO...SPOT ON I SAY!!!

[vova47]

It´s Ray Brown.

[dandiacal]

That is amazing! I've never heard Ray Brown in that kind of jazz-rock or funk context. How did you find out?

Happy Holidays and New Year to you..

[dandiacal]

Of course I have heard him do a couple of boogaloo type things with Oscar Peterson, so I know he's done it.

[radicalricky]

@dandiacal IT'S FUCKING CHARLES MINGUS

[cinemavirtualis]

Keep an eye out in August, as Husbands will FINALLY be released to DVD, and the totally uncut 2 hr 25 min version too!!!

"Terrific!!"

Me three! The film isn't available through my online rental program, and I haven't found it in any of the stores, either.
