“Hello, Gorgeous.”
That is, of course, the classic line uttered by Barbra Streisand’s Fanny Brice in 1968’s Funny Girl. Starting Saturday night, it’s also the name of a new monthly live music series and supper club at the character’s namesake restaurant, Fanny’s, inside the Academy Museum.
Fanny’s, from restaurateurs Bill Chait and Carl Schuster and featuring chef Raphael Francois, will get a Hello, Gorgeous makeover that will feature a music program curated by Kcrw vet Jason Bentley, dramatic lighting, a prix fixe menu and an eclectic mix of entertainers. The night will see guests seated (via online reservations) at 7:15 p.m. with tiered packages on offer.
Kicking it off tomorrow night will be singer-songwriter Danielle Ponder, recently seen on Late Night with Seth Meyers and at SXSW. As for Bentley, he’s well-known in music circles as...

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter rock sleek robot helmets in public, rarely submit to interviews and have left electronic-music fans wondering for more than two decades, "Just who are the dudes from Daft Punk?"
Now, thanks to their collaborative work on the "Tron Legacy" score, the curtain shielding the French duo from the public eye has been pulled back perhaps farther than ever before. Music supervisor Jason Bentley ("The Matrix" trilogy) worked with de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter for two years on the project, and in a wide-ranging interview, Bentley gave MTV News all sorts of insight into Daft Punk's creative process and what they're like to hang out with on a day-to-day basis.

The Internet public radio station Wcrw 89.9 FM has posted an interview on their website from the show Morning Becomes Eclectic in which host Jason Bentley talked with Joseph Kosinski, the director of the upcoming Tron: Legacy, about his collaboration with the French dance music duo Daft Punk and their work on the Tron Legacy Soundtrack.
Bentley, who has previously served as the music supervisor for the Matrix trilogy, played a big hand in getting the boys in Daft Punk to score the big-budget sequel. In the interview Kosinski and Bentley talk in great detail about the director's musical influences, how they figured into his vision for the Tron: Legacy score, and his experiences working with Daft Punk.
Kosinski also spoke about having the final mix of the score done at Skywalker Ranch, where the mix engineers described it as "the loudest film they had ever mixed music for."
... the mix was a challenge.

Music supervisor, Jason Bentley ("The Matrix" trilogy, "Tron:Legacy") is also La radio station Kcrw's music director and longtime DJ. He sat down with "Tron" director Joseph Kosinski for a chat on Kcrw exclusively about Daft Punk and the soundtrack for the much anticipated upcoming electrogasm starring Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde. It was a lengthy process working with the French duo, whom the filmmakers courted for nearly a year before they decided they could commit two years to the project.
They have proven to be absolutely instrumental in the making of the movie, establishing much needed tone for the actors who often were unable to see what they were acting with. Kosinski, who just finished the film the day before Thanksgiving had quite bit to say about it:
Music has this ability to answer so many questions without having to say anything. I think with a movie like this...

As the world waits in anticipation for the new "Tron: Legacy" to drop in December, more and more is being made of the film's soundtrack, helmed by Daft Punk. And now, more music than ever has been revealed, in an interview between director Joseph Kosinski and Kcrw's Jason Bentley.

The radio chat's yield was lifting the curtain on five full tracks -- "Tron Legacy (End Titles)," "Solar Sailor," "Recognizer Capture," "Adagio for Tron" and "Disc Wars." The...

CANNES -- Movie studios must take some of the blame for the decline in popularity of film soundtrack albums, Fox Music chief Robert Kraft said on a "Music for Images" panel at the Midem international music market Tuesday. "After the success of Titanic, soundtrack albums were made for every film, and songs were crow-barred into films," Kraft said. "Soundtracks were bogus. Songs are often just marketing vehicles, and the music gets forgotten. The music must serve the film." The song soundtrack to the movie Garden State has been a recent success, but Kraft said it was because the featured tracks were particular to the film. "The director picked all the songs himself," he said. Panelist Jason Bentley, who is a disc jockey on Los Angeles radio station KCRW and also works as a film music supervisor (The Matrix), said the soundtrack to Garden State succeeded where Spider-Man 2, for example, did not. "You need music that's organic to the film and that resonates and makes people feel the movie. 'Garden State' did that," Bentley said.
