(New York, NY) The song, “Pull My Daisy" is familiar to jazz fans as the soundtrack of the 1959 Alfred Leslie / Robert Frank film of the same name, which featured Jack Kerouac (narrator), Allen Ginsberg, Larry Rivers Gregory Corso and David Amram. Amram also wrote the score, with lyrics by Kerouac and Ginsberg.
In the summer of 2002, the New York City band Curse teamed up with Amram to record a new version in the spirit of the original. It became the first studio recording of “Pull My Daisy" in over thirty years (it was last recorded in 1971). Amram played piano, pennywhistle and french horn with Curse on the session.
