And certain musicians started to becomeinternationally known. Bernstein has played in the bands Lounge Lizards Spanish Fly and Sex Mob; performed with greatssuch as Lou Reed Levon Helm and Sam Rivers; and scored films including Get Shorty. He also researched 1930s jazz music for Robert Altman’s 1996 film Kansas City. Many bands of that time toured to specific territories taking jazzto smaller towns.
