Looking for information on movie scene music

Anyone out there able to help with some information on the following:

From the 1981 movie "THIEF" starring James Caan. There is a scene where James Caan goes into a bar and drags his wife outside. During the bar scene there is a group playing a session. Can any kind soul who knows the scene let us have any details of the group, title of the music they were playing, etc.

We know the overall theme music for the movie is by Tangerine Dream, but the music in this particular scene is not theirs.

Thanks in advance.


Regards, Richard

richard: the "soundtrack" has only the tangerine dream music (which you probably already knew). -cfb

Thanks for the feedback. Tried searching several sites to no avail. Already have the track listing for the Tangerine Dream soundtrack but in this particular (cafe/bar) scene a small session group is playing and it certainly doesn't look or sound like TD. Also only had a brief glance at the end credits to no avail.

Thanks again, regards, Richard

Take the DVD or Laserdisc if there this is one and burn yourself a CD from that scene.

richard: your post intrigued me sufficiently to test my internet search skills. here's what i've found thus far:

(1) the movie was originally released in 1981 (not sure in which countries) under the title "violent streets";

(2) the bar in which the band was playing was called "katz & jammer";

(3) the group playing in the bar was called the "mighty joe young band." (a group with this name has several cd titles available on amazon, etc.);

(4) members of the mighty joe young band (or the actors playing them) are/were thomas giblin, willie hayes, conrad mocarski, benny turner, william l. petersen and steve randolph;

(5) aside from tangerine dream, the only other credits for music were give to craig safan.

at least it's a start. hope it helps. BTW, i really like this movie and the soundtrack, particularly on japanese vinyl. -cfb

Now this is what I call a trivia question. Almost makes me want to rent the movie. Could you maybe hum a few bars?
