AN EVENING FOR ALL JAZZ FANS
FRIDAY 22nd NOVEMBER
LINDEN HALL STUDIO
7pm – 9.30pm
JAZZ AMERICANS IN PARIS
Martin Goodsmith and Adam Sieff travelled to Paris to meet some of the American jazz musicians who currently live and work there. Their 11 minute film, Jazz Americans in Paris, is an introduction to how these expat American jazz musicians feel about living and playing jazz music in the ‘City of Lights’.
THE JAZZ AMBASSADORS
Introduced by the Director Hugo Berkley and Michael McEvoy Composer
This is arguably one of the most absorbing music documentaries created in recent years, irrespective of genre. It describes how a group of African-American jazz musicians and their racially integrated bands crossed the globe during the Cold War to counter negative propaganda about racism in America. All these artists are among the greatest names in jazz, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Dave Brubeck. The film’s original music score was by composer Michael J McEvoy.
