Rock Steady - The 2009 Montreal Jazz Festival Concert
What if you had a chance to watch a film for the first time? One so special that you made it after you finished your original documentary. What if NO ONE CAME?
Well, I got to see a wonderful film this evening, the concert film of the 2009 Montreal Jazz festival inviting the characters from the documentary that was shown the other night on the Green. Many folks thought this was the same film, it wasn't. It was the follow-on concert. And the making of the Concert video. Quite a show, though, I'd have liked the sound to have been a bit louder. RockSteady - is what came before Regge. Really incredible uplifting music. A reminder that small music movements can produce great results. Now if someone would only make a film about Cape Breton Music.
Little Miss Eyeflap, a short, played before the film, well worth watching if your ever given the chance. The film maker deserved a bigger audience, she came all the way from Norway. It was her vision of life as a Pakistani transplant in Norway. Alas, in a sense, it was the same as the base of her film. She was screwed by her relatives, and the norwegians, but she came to see the beauty in all around her. I hope she at least sees Maui while she's here.
