PLAY MORRICONE FOR ME salutes Hollywood’s King of the B’s on the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. Roger Corman mentored a generation of New Hollywood talent and produced, directed and/or distributed some 500 feature films in his 70-year career, including gothic horror, atomic sci-fi, b-westerns, teen delinquent melodramas, biker flicks, Depression-outlaw actioners, wry social satires, and even the occasional masterpiece. With his finger firmly on the pulse of the USA’s emerging youth culture, Corman frequently thought outside the box and hired composers from the world of jazz, pop or rock and roll to score his pictures, like Fred Katz, Les Baxter, Davie Allan, Mike Bloomfield, and more. Today’s program features a plethora of drive-in movie scores, vintage radio spots for Corman productions, and a few other surprises.
Enjoy!
