JazzWax by Marc Myers
As JazzWax readers know, I'm fairly picky about my Oscar Peterson albums. I find the pianist most spectacular when the song choices are spot-on and he's completely in the pocket and swinging.

Girl With a Suitcase is one of my favorite Claudia Cardinale films. There's a unsettled quality about her that haunts. The post-neorealist film was directed by Valerio Zurlini, a lesser-known but superb Italian director. Among his best films are The Girls of San Frediano (1955) and Violent Summer (1959). But I chose Girl With a Suitcase because of Cardinale's childlike innocence and the gentle quality of the 16-year old (Jacques Perrin) who falls for her. With the success of Sophia ...

What a Girl!, starring bassist Slam Stewart, drummer Big Sid Catlett, the Brown Dots vocal group, singer Beryl Booker and others. The film was shot at New York's Fox Movietone Studio on 10th Ave. and 54th St. At some point, Gene Krupa ...
