SUMMARY:'ROUND MIDNIGHT | WITH MAXINE GORDON & RICHARD BRODY
DESCRIPTION:On February 26\, in coordination with our ongoing exhibition Nordic Utopia?\, join us for a screening and film talk on the 1986 classic ‘Round Midnight\, a musical drama starring Dexter Gordon! Maxine Gordon\, the widow of the late jazz legend and author of his biography Sophisticated Giant: The Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon (University of California Press)\, will be present for a film talk with film critic Richard Brody of the  New Yorker. \n‘Round Midnight is a love letter from director Bertrand Tavernier to the heyday of bebop and the Black American musicians who found refuge in the smoky underground jazz clubs of 1950s Paris. In a sui generis\, Oscar-nominated fusion of performer and character\, legendary saxophonist Dexter Gordon plays Dale Turner\, a brilliant New York jazz veteran whose music aches with beauty but whose personal life is ravaged by addiction. Searching for a fresh start in Paris\, Turner strikes up an unlikely friendship with a struggling single father and ardent jazz fan (François Cluzet) who finds his life transformed as he attempts to help the musician. \nHerbie Hancock’s evocative\, Oscar-winning score sets the mood for this definitive jazz film\, a bittersweet opus that glows with lived-in\, soulful authenticity. Round Midnight was also nominated for Best Academy Award for Best Actor for Gordon’s performance and a winner of numerous other awards. \nPurchase Tickets
