From Juke Joints to Church Halls: Jazz and Blues Film Fest
In conjunction with the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, we present a terrific program of recent films on jazz and blues with a pop-up jazz record sale, special introductions, a panel on how jazz and blues artists are portrayed on film and a draw for prizes!
A musical journey through the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and the moonshine-soaked BBQs of the North Mississippi Hill Country. It visits the last original blues devils, many in their 80s, still living in the deep south, working without management and touring the Chitlin’ Circuit. Let Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Carol Fran, Lazy Lester, Little Freddie King, Bilbo Walker, RL Boyce, Jimmy ’Duck’ Holmes, Lil’ Buck Sinegal, LC Ulmer and their friends awaken the blues in all of us.
Generously sponsored by The Joanne Lesko Group (Joanne Lesko, Cindi French and Tara King) and IATSE 856
