Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 21, 2011
In 1964, jazz pianist, composer and bandleader Carla Bley composed a titular homage to Ida Lupino. It is a wistful, ambling tune, though not insubstantial. Over the years it has become a minor classic, performed by many artists and with a wide array of instrumentations, though I feel most effectivel read more
