![]() I don't know if you noticed, but I turned all of the sung songs in the movie into jazz combo pieces. Some pieces in LLL, like the number where Emma's character Mia tap dances, were more arranged throughout, but still had sections where I slashed out measures and asked a player to solo. Typically rhythm instruments (bass, piano) are walking and comping respectively based on the changes. For the jazz combo stuff in La La Land, some of the pieces were on lead sheets, meaning that a player or combination of players play the melody the first and last time through, and improvise on the chord changes in the middle of the song. Jazz is particularly exciting to record because usually there is room for improv. I picked that one at a piano warehouse I visited with Randy Kerber because it had a lot of character for that type of piano. ![]() ![]() Whenever we needed an upright, like for the jazz played at The Lighthouse, we used a Kawaii VT-118. I also didn't want the piano on the score to be too boomy. I think that size and era has so much character. I picked that piano because it's the type of piano I grew up playing and the type of piano I have in my apartment. For all of the score, and any time we needed a grand piano like when Sebastian plays the main theme on piano, we used a 1920s Steinway M. For "A Lovely Night" I solved the key problem by building in a two bar key change between Ryan and Emma's verses. Going higher than F made the highest part of the melody uncomfortably high for Emma, and going lower made the beginning of the melody too low for Ryan. Duets are tough because you have to find a key that works for both voices. You're right about keys in the two versions of City of Stars. The amazing jazz pianist Randy Kerber, who pre-recorded all of the jazz that Ryan then had to learn, was a consultant on the movie and was around set to offer feedback as well. They mostly worked on their own, but I checked in with Ryan occasionally and was on set for all of it, to offer guidance when it was needed. Ryan spent more hours a day practicing when he wasn't with Liz. Liz worked with Ryan quite a bit, I think six days a week.
