'Paris Blues' 1961 Film and NYJOS
NYOS Jazz Orchestra (The National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland) holds a Summer School at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig each year and we find an excuse to screen a jazz-related film. Tonight we are showing 'Paris Blues' (1961, 1hr 38 mins), a cool, breezy and laid-back character-led romantic drama with strong turns by the four likable leads, including Sidney Poitier and Paul Newman with a rich, plentiful score by Duke Ellington, and an on-screen appearance of Louis Armstrong. The evening opens with a short live set from some of the young jazz players, led by Rick Taylor.Date: 12/07/17
