Lou Reed




Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Heart (1998) 

Lou Reed é um dos nomes fundamentais da música popular contemporânea. Nos Velvet Underground, uma das mais importantes bandas da década de 60, foi vocalista e letrista visionário, e após sua separação, Reed prosseguiu uma carreira a solo que, pela sua diversidade e qualidade, desafia qualquer tentativa de resumo. 
Este filme retrata o seu percurso, desde as primeiras tentativas de trabalhar em pequenas editoras discográficas, à formação dos Velvet e a relação com Andy Warhol, e, finalmente, o seu trabalho a solo, onde se inclui mesmo uma colaboração com o encenador Bob Wilson na ópera rock-futurista "Time Rocker". 
Recorrendo a fantásticas imagens de arquivo e entrevistas com amigos e músicos próximos de Lou Reed, como John Cale, David Bowie, David Byrne, Patti Smith, Philip Glass, Nan Goldin ou Jonas Mekas, o filme é um olhar sobre uma das maiores personalidades do rock, e autor de canções tão memoráveis como "Heroin", "Sweet Jane" e "Walk on the Wild Side", e uma viagem aos tempos e aos lugares (Nova Iorque como grande musa) que fizeram a sua música.

Jammin' The Blues




Jammin' The Blues (1944) "the best short movie on jazz"


Jammin' the Blues is a 1944 short film in which several prominent jazz musicians got together for a rare filmed jam session. 
It features Lester Young, Red Callender, Harry Edison, Marlowe Morris, Sid Catlett, Barney Kessel, Jo Jones, John Simmons, Illinois Jacquet, Marie Bryant, Archie Savage and Garland Finney. 
Barney Kessel is the only white musician in the film. He was seated in the shadows to shade his skin, and for closeups, his hands were dyed with berry juice. The movie was artfully directed by famed still photographer Gjon Mili, edited by Everett Dodd, with lighting and photography directed by Robert Burks (his first credit in this field), and released by Warner Bros. 
Producer Gordon Hollingshead was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Short Subject, One-reel. Working with Harold Eugene Edgerton of MIT, Mili was a pioneer in the use of stroboscopic instruments to capture a sequence of actions in one photograph. Mili did not serve as cinematographer for this film, but Blues uses multiplied images that in many ways recall the multi-image still-frames done with the strobe. 
The imaginative use of the camera makes this film a minor landmark in the way that musicians have been filmed. In 1995, Jammin' the Blues was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". 
Jammin' the Blues appears on the DVDs Passage to Marseille (2006) and Norman Granz: Improvisation (2007).

Blues Houseparty!




Blues Houseparty

"Producer Eleanor Ellis offers Piedmont blues fans a rare front-row seat to a private house party that is as down home and authentic as they come on this 57-minute DVD Blues Houseparty. 
Filmed in 1989 at the late John Jackson's home in Fairfax Station, Virginia, Blues Houseparty includes performances by Jackson and his son James, John Cephas and Phil Wiggins, Archie Edwards, Cora Jackson, Flora Molton and Larry Wise, John Dee Holeman, and Quentin "Fris" Holloway. 
Between songs, performers talk about the history of country breakdowns, demonstrate traditional dances and swap hilarious stories. The atmosphere is natural and relaxed. The audio and video quality are good. 
One small criticism: Performers could have been identified earlier in the film. But that's a small price to pay for admission to this rip-roarin' good time."
