Blues Film Collection, Red, White and Blues

synopsis


Guided by the phenomenal talent of Martin Scorsese as Executive Producer, The Blues consists of 7 feature-length films that are both personal and impressionistic, viewed through the lens of 7 world famous directors who share a passion for blues music. In the tradition of 'The Buena Vista Social Club' and 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown', The Blues films chart the evolution of blues music, from its roots in Africa to its inspirational role in today's music. As opposed being merely historical overviews or straight documentaries of the blues, the films aim to celebrate and promote the diverse impressions and influences blues music has exerted on artistic and musical forms of expression around the world. Director Mike Figgis joins musicians such as Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Tom Jones, performing and talking about the music of the early sixties British invasion that reintroduced the blues sound to America. A series of musical interviews with the key players of the blues movement is augmented with a live session at the famous Abbey Road recording studios. Jones, Beck, Van Morrison, and Lulu all improvise some classic blues standards, accompanied by a superb band made up of younger and not-so-younger-musicians. The results are electrifying.
