ROBERTSON'S SWANSONG

A few minutes into Killers Of The Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's new film (playing in theatres) about the systematic erasure of a Native American tribe in the 1920s, Osage Oil Boom starts to play. It's a caustic blues griffon electric guitar over rumbling drums. Ominous and irresistible, it sets the tone for this dark, haunting meditation by Scorsese. Composer Robbie Robertson, who has worked with the director on films like The Color Of Money and The Irishman, drew on his own part-Indian ancestry to create the score, which mixes blues, bluegrass and traditional Native American music. The former songwriter and guitarist of The Band died in August, making this a bittersweet and thoroughly impressive swansong.
