  1. Count Basie and Oscar Peterson, Night Rider, 1980 on Pablo

    One of my favorite Pablo records, bringing together two legends: Count Basie and Oscar Peterson, with support from Louis Bellson and John Heard. Produced by Norman Granz and engineered by Val Valentin, with liner notes by Nat Hentoff.

    Basie plays organ on “Memories of You” and Peterson plays electric piano on “Blues for Pamela.” The opening 12:38 cut of the title track is, as they say, worth the price of admission on its own.

    My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal, QC, is a Canadian pressing (Manufactured and Distributed in Canada by RCA Limited).

  2. Clint Eastwood, Wolfgang Petersen – „In the Line of Fire“ (1993)

    Für mich war dieser Thriller, angesiedelt im politischen Washington, eigentlich eine Fortsetzung des amerikanischen Western. Eastwood, dessen Dekonstruktion des Mythos in "Erbarmungslos" kurz zuvor gleich viermal einen Oscar gewann, überließ dem Deutschen Wolfgang Petersen die Regie. Für den einen war es eine seiner letzten Action-Rollen, für den anderen sein Durchbruch in Hollywood. (ZDF, Wh)
