SINCE AUNT ADA CAME TO STAY
Composed by John Lewis
Jazz great and Bach fanatic John Lewis, of Modern Jazz Quartet fame,
brought a quirky humor to his music for Night Gallery, exemplified in this
cue underscoring one of Aunt Ada's conjuring scenes. Clarinets and flutes
make sardonic commentary in a worried conversation with quivering strings,
electronics, hammered dulcimer, harpsichord, and plucked double-bass,
producing an appropriately weird ambience.
Reused in "Big Surprise," "Pickman's Model," "Tell David..." and the
introduction to "The Waiting Room."
