In honor of the late Robbie Robertson, whose “Killers of the Flower Moon” score was his final work, Martin Scorsese hosted a private tribute concert Wednesday in Los Angeles that had guests including Joni Mitchell, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone watching Jackson Browne and other musicians perform Robertson’s songs as well as score excerpts.
The tribute to Robertson — who died on Aug. 9 at age 80 — took place before 200 invited guests at the composer’s longtime recording-studio home, the Village Studios in West L.A. Among those joining Browne as performers were Rocco DeLuca, Citizen Cope, Angela McCluskey, Blake Mills, Jim Keltner and, briefly, Jason Isbell, who has a small role in “Killers.”

Martin Scorsese Honors Robbie Robertson’s Legacy with Tribute Concert: The Musician ‘Broke Barriers’
Martin Scorsese honored late rocker Robbie Robertson with the tribute concert “Robbie Robertson: A Celebration of His Life and Music,” during which the auteur recalled how Robertson’s scores marked a “turning point” in his career.
The private memorial concert was hosted at Village Studios in Los Angeles, with artists Jackson Browne, Rocco Deluca, Angela McCluskey, Blake Mills Group, and Citizen Cope performing. Robertson, the former The Band guitarist, died at age 80 in August 2023. Scorsese first met Robertson during concert documentary film “The Last Waltz” in 1976; the duo collaborated for decades after, with Robertson serving as the music producer and composer on films like “The King of Comedy,” “Silence,” “The Aviator,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and most recently, “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
“We kept working together for the next 45 years,” Scorsese said of Robertson scoring “Raging Bull” and adding another working layer to their friendship. “Forty-five years of...

When Paul Cantelon was tapped by first-time feature director Harry Mavromichalis to score “Olympia,” the documentary on Academy Award-winning actress, Olympia Dukakis, he was more than prepared to craft music that underscored her Greek heritage.
When Cantelon’s preacher father met his first-chair trumpeter mother, their family life becomes one of traveling evangelical tent meetings with Cantelon growing up on couches in different people’s homes. A number of these homes belonged to Greek families where he heard Greek music that became part of his musical lexicon. Over 30 years ago, when Cantelon met his wife, vocalist Angela McCluskey, she had a great love for Greece and took him to that country, where Cantelon was immersed in the music.
“[Mavromichalis] has a lyrical sense for picture,” says Cantelon from his Nichols Canyon home studio in Los Angeles. “He was a dancer and he has a musical, rhythmic sense to the way he shoots and edits.

It’s been quite some time since livetronica duo Big Gigantic bestowed new music upon their fans. They clearly haven’t lost their touch, though, as evidenced by what they’ve offered up in the form of “The Little Things.”
The Boulder, Co-based outfit spared no expense in putting together something grandiose for the track that would break their unofficial release hiatus. Angela McCluskey’s rich vocals make for a fitting accompaniment to the jazzy, largely instrumental Big Gigantic style, with effervescent synth work emphasizing each exhilarating peak.
By the look of it, “The Little Things” is but a sign of more to come from the duo as well. Shortly before releasing the track, they teased a totally separate collaboration with vocalist Jennifer Hartswick in the following post to their Facebook page:
Can’t wait for this track with the amazinggggg Jennifer Hartswick!!!

Christopher Walken might not be an obvious choice as a therapeutic muse, but that's whom John William Codling, a painter and the head of an institutional brokerage firm, turned to for inspiration when the financial crisis hit. His series of paintings Sundays with Chris (named for Codling's weekly painting sessions) debuted yesterday evening in New York City at Diane von Furstenberg's Dvf Gallery to a crowd of downtown types, including artist Dustin Yellin, singer Angela McCluskey, and photographer Mick Rock. The paintings are being sold to benefit Team Continuum, a nonprofit organization that assists cancer patients and their families, founded by Codling's close friend Paul Nicholls. The artist explained why he was drawn to Walken: "I painted as a child, and when I decided to start, I had three large canvases in my apartment that sat there for a while before I got Christopher Walken in my head. So I painted him,...
