There was a time when Paris was the refuge of broken souls. Broken hearts, drunken writers and tormented artists wandered with melancholy faces from bar to bar. Of the many that have been made, the film that best captures the essence of this historical period is Paris Blues (Martin Ritt, 1961), which is now being screened in the Music and Film Series of the 16th edition of the Jazz Voyeur Festival.
Starring the immortals Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier, this delicate film narrates the adventures of two libertine and talented American Jazz musicians who, escaping the noise and hypocrisy of their native country, decide to flee in voluntary exile to the French capital.
A declaration of love to Jazz, to Paris and with an exquisite soundtrack composed by Duke Ellington. It is projected on VOSE.
Since its inception, the Jazz Voyeur Festival has been synonymous with high quality. Its director Roberto Menéndez, passionate about this musical genre, has been in charge of putting together a program that has contributed to elevating the local music scene and has managed to bring jazz fans from all over the world to discover Mallorca.
This sixteenth edition offers five concerts from November 4 to December 15, 2023, plus a Music and Film Series and four master classes taught by the main artists that make up this year's lineup. Both the music and film series and the master classes are free of charge.
