The Paradise Presents ... THE SUMMER SESSIONS. Join us in July and August as we explore musical styles and modes of performance in film. This screening series is split into two parts- each chronicling the distinctive cinematic language of a genre. Each month will feature one special edition of BAND AND A MOVIE! Throughout the summer we will be paying tribute to the transcendental work of documentary filmmaker Les Blank- known for his vivid portraits of traditional musicians. Selected screenings will be preceded by a Les Blank short relating to the month's genre.
VOL. II- BODY MEETS SOUL: a cinematic journey through jazz, rhythm and blues. We are ending the summer with the sounds of soul, as we pay tribute to jazz, rhythm & blues music in the 20th century and beyond.
A LOVE-SPECTACULAR SO PERSONALLY EXCITING, YOU FEEL IT'S HAPPENING TO YOU! We are taking our journey through jazz abroad with Martin Ritt's 1961 romantic drama. Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier, and Joanne Woodward star in PARIS BLUES.
Despite being far from home, American jazz musicians Ram Bowen (Paul Newman) and Eddie Cook (Sidney Poitier) are content living and working in Paris. Ram knows it's the best place for him to develop his musical reputation, and Eddie is far away from the racism that once greeted him on a regular basis. But after meeting and falling in love with American tourists Lillian (Joanne Woodward) and Connie (Diahann Carroll), the pair must decide whether their artistic integrity is worth abandoning.
