    Keith Emerson and Clint Eastwood?

    Are ya' feeling lucky.........man?
    Clint Eastwood and Dave Brubeck....my idea of "elegant men". So fortunate to have met both of them.
    During the filming of this documentary, Keith and Clint were having so much fun on piano together (which, unfortunately does not show in the film). Keith is rarely starstruck, and neither am I. But this time, we both were. We felt his aura the second he entered the studio.
    ...and Dave.... We miss him so much. Thinking about him brings tears to our eyes sometimes. A kind, true gentleman he was.

    That's great man. When Keith reads him 'Thanking you for the 4/4 version', does Clint really identify this as a fraction instead of a time signature?

    I guess I am out of the loop here - when is this documentary coming out? And are both Clint and Keith starring in it throughout?

    I'm guessing so. Clint is a piano player (I believe) and a jazz enthusiast.

    Clint's son Kyle is a fine musician and bandleader.

    Hired on to work for Mr. Bill Cox, a-fixin' lawn mowers and what-not, since 1964.

    What is this documentary? I would definitely be interested in checking it out. Yea, Eastwood has been a huge supporter of jazz and blues over the years.

    This doesn't surprise me too much. I knew that Clint is not only a big jazz fan but also a bit of a composer himself. I had no idea Keith knew Clint though but it seems rather apparent that they both share a love of jazz.

    Emerson made an album with the late great Oscar Peterson some years ago. I believe it was recorded in Oscar's hometown, Montreal.

    Clint would beat the shit out of Emerson.

    Umm,Progeezer came up with this a little behind me but that's cool.
