Douglass Street Music Collective presents Shades of Jazz on Noir, a film and live music show. The endeavour is a mix of 38 different noir films, from the 1930s to the 1950s and reframes the female stereotype, given voice by Yoon Sun Choi. The mostly silent screening will be sultry, treacherous and accompanied by live music improvised by the sextet of Herb Robertson and Angelica Sanchez with Ralph Alessi, Elliot Levin, David Chevan and Ed Ricart. The result is a compelling new piece, with the evocative gritty atmospherics of film noir joined by the energy of new jazz improvisation, which was often lacking in the original noir films.
Film by Ana Isabel Ordonez.
