Aro Recommended Calle 54

 

USA 2000, 106 minutes
Dir. Fernando Trueba
Genres: Music, Documentary / Jazz & Blues

 

Aroview: A luxurious and overdue tribute to the charms of Latin jazz, dir. Tueba’s (BELLE EPOQUE) musical passion.

Interviews with greats like Tito Puente, Gato Barbieri, Cachao Lopez, Eliane Elias and Jerry Gonzalez on their home-turf (Cuba, Brazil, Spain…) precede a series of recordings in New York at a studio on the titular 54th Street. These sessions include a dozen complete numbers, capturing the shape and spirit of live improvisation at its best.
