Words flying a thousand miles an hour, heads spinning, eyes flashing, tyres twisting tarmac as straight street slides by and the great unknown night rises up to snatch you into its cold, dark embrace. Gasoline, Thunderbird and Bennies. Next stop San Francisco, San Antonio or San Atorium. Out of the shadows they came. Rude, righteous and in your face, daddy-o. What are you rebelling against? Whaddya got? April In Paris. Give me Sartori In Paris any day. And make sure Stan Getz is there to blow sweet and high. As a kite.

Out of the twilight murk of post-war film noir emerged a new strand of shadowy cinematic concepts. This time though the films were more sexually provocative, fraught with existential angst and fizzing with outsider rebellion towards the Eisenhower mainstream of 1950’s America. The beginnings of a generation in motion, with bebop to crank the starting handle. Like the Beat Generation, bebop was young, hip, cool and underground. Not only did it fire up writers such as Jack Kerouac and Jack Gelber, but key directors too such as John Cassavetes and Don Siegel and the music chased the narrative like cat and mouse. These eight cult movies and their enthralling soundtracks presented here are crystalline windows into a lost world. Flashbacks to a more innocent age when young people first realized they did not have to live by the codes and conceits of their parent’s world. War was over, but the generational wars were only just beginning. And writers like Kerouac were in the vanguard, bringing Beat and bebop together in a head-snapping rush of hope and excitement. None more so than these lines from his essay, Jazz Of The Beat Generation: ‘We seek to find new phrases; we try hard, we writhe and twist and blow; every now and then a clear harmonic cry gives new suggestions of a tune, a thought, that will someday be the only tune and thought in the world and which will raise men’s souls to joy. We find it, we lose it, we wrestle for it, we find it again, we laugh, we moan. Go moan for man. It’s the pathos of people that gets us down, all the lovers in this dream’. A dream, it has to be said, that’s far from over.
