Tre Giorni di Chitarra Jazz a Certaldo con Alessio Menconi - Friday, June 29, 2012

Stage: "Tre Giorni di Chitarra Jazz a Certaldo" con Alessio Menconi


Lorenza Cattadori: 
"Di Alessio Menconi chitarrista avvertono la statura artistica i numerosi studenti nei vari Conservatori e quelli futuri nei corsi del suo nuovo, bellissimo “AMG”, così come l’hanno sentita tutti i grandi musicisti che ne hanno percepito l’energia e l’originalità fin da quando veniva considerato una sorta di enfant prodige. Alessio perfeziona, cesella la propria scrittura, è capace di farti volare ma de visu non dà mai l’impressione di avere a che fare con un artista scomposto, in preda ad afflati creativi. ...

The Buns - Glam-garage-rock à chignon

1952, Downtown Chicago. Molly Jin et June Cooper, jeunes secrétaires au sein de la même compagnie et épouses modèles, ont un secret.

Quand vient le soir, en sortant du bureau et avant de rejoindre leur mari, elles se retrouvent dans un vieux hangar pour lâcher la bride. La guitare électrique de Molly fait alors souffler un air de liberté, endiablé par la batterie hargneuse de June. Les chignons (« The Buns ») se défont, les langues se délient, les deux secrétaires se livrent et se délivrent.

This is a rare and unique recording I found par hazard in Porta Pila's Balon [ba'lʊŋ], Torino Italy, in which the great director shares his own - and prophetic - idea of cinema and society.
