Background
A prolific film actor and director, often recognized for his roles as
Eastwood's interest in jazz music proved a strong influence on his filming career, first with his decision to employ jazz composers for his second major American motion picture, Coogan's Bluff (1968).[1] By 1971, the commercial success of Eastwood's film directing debut, Play Misty for Me, helped re-popularize Erroll Garner's song "Misty" which Eastwood positioned as a key element in the film. His verve for music flowed innately throughout his career—from performing in Honkytonk Man (1982), directing Bird (1988), and producing Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (1990).[1] Prior to his tribute at Carnegie Hall, Eastwood established his own jazz label called Malpaso Records which debuted with the soundtrack of his latest film The Bridges of Madison County (1995).[3]
