The Blues Brothers is a 1980 American musical comedy film directed by John Landis. It stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as “Joliet” Jake and Elwood Blues, characters they originated on Saturday Night Live. The film’s screenplay was written by Aykroyd and Landis. It features musical numbers by rhythm and blues (R&B), soul, and pop performers of the late 20th century, including Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Carrie Fisher. The film is set in and around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed.

The movie premiered in the United States on June 20, 1980. It grossed $115 million in the United States against a budget of $30 million,[4] becoming the third highest-grossing film of 1980 in the country. Its soundtrack album became one of the most popular and best-selling albums of all time, selling more than 4 million copies in the United States alone. In 2001, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[5][6] In February 1980, Jake Blues is released from prison after serving time for armed robbery. Elwood arrives to pick him up in his Bluesmobile—an old police car—but not before picking up a baker’s dozen boxes of Twinkies from a stalled semi-truck driver who runs out of gas while service workers are on strike at a local gas station due to nonpayment of gasoline taxes to Illinois state government that were intended for road maintenance rather than being pocketed by corrupt state politicians who used it for other purposes such as their personal salaries via kickbacks from contractors performing substandard work on state highways that eventually led to them having to be repaired or rebuilt at much greater expense that could have otherwise been avoided if sufficient funds had been available when they were originally built or repaired according to specifications using materials that conformed to standards set by public authorities responsible for their construction or maintenance but were instead used inferior materials that didn’t conform to these standards leading to them falling into disrepair much sooner than they otherwise would have leading to these costs being passed on to taxpayers who ended up footing the bill for repairs that could have been avoided if politicians had not embezzled these funds for their personal use.[7][8][9]

Elwood tells Jake they are going to visit “the Penguin”, their last remaining relative who lives in an old decaying house on Chicago’s near South Side. They learn from her that she has no money left since her husband died; she sold all their possessions after he died just so she can pay the mortgage on their house with what little money she has left so she can keep living there despite its poor condition due largely to her poverty as well as neglect due to her advanced age.[10] Disgusted by her poverty and2914010 apparent disregard for hygiene as well as cleanliness,[11] Jake and Elwood realize they need to raise $1,500 quickly so they can pay back taxes owed on the house before it gets auctioned off by Cook County Sheriff Daley’s office which is something they definitely don’t want since it would mean their beloved Aunt would be homeless and living on the streets begging for spare change or worse if they can’t come up with this money fast enough.[12][13]

One idea Jake has is reforming their old bandback together so they can play some gigsand make some quick cash.[14][15] However, upon visiting one music store after another tryingto find musical instruments they can afford as well as musical instrumentsthat aren’t too badly damaged or in need of repairs that would cost more thanthey could afford to spend on them,[16][17] they eventually realized thiswasn’t going to be possible given their current financial situation whichleft them with no choice but to come up with another solution fast because timeisn’t something they have much of if they’re going save Auntie’s house frombeing auctioned off.[18][19]
How about we take a look at some other ideas?

One of the most popular and iconic movie scenes of all time is the Blues Brothers car chase. In this scene, Jake and Elwood Blues (played by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd) are being chased by the police in their 1967 Dodge Monaco. The camera pans to the backseat where we see Matt “Guitar” Murphy playing the bass. This scene is so iconic that it has been parodied and referenced countless times.

The music in this scene is “The Worm,” which was written by Willie Dixon and originally recorded by Howlin’ Wolf in 1955. The version in the movie is performed by Murphy and Steve Cropper on guitar, Donald “Duck” Dunn on bass, and Murph’s brother, Lester on saxophone.

This quartet arrangement of “The Worm” is based on the movie version, with a few liberties taken to make it work better for a sax quartet. The parts are evenly divided between the four saxes, with solos for alto 1 and tenor 2. The chart is written in a medium blues shuffle style and should be performed with a slightly driving feel.
