CSJQ Presents "Shades of Love in Film Noir"

CSJQ presents an evening of songs heard in the great films noirs of the 1940s and ‘50s. Using these movies, the band samples the many shades of love, from bliss to blues, rhapsodies to red wagons. CSJQ performs classics such as “I’ll Remember April” (from _Phantom Lady_), “Stella by Starlight” (_The Uninvited_), “I Hear a Rhapsody” (_Clash by Night_), “Tangerine" (_Double Indemnity_), and “One for My Baby” (_Road House_), as well as the title themes from _Laura_, and TV crime shows such as _Peter Gunn_. Special feature: a tribute to Ida Lupino, the only female director in Hollywood at the time.
To complement this evocative, romantic jazz, the performance features clips from the movies and introductions by CSJQ saxophonist and vocalist Mark Osteen, author of _Nightmare Alley: Film Noir and the American Dream_. A free copy of this book will be raffled off during the show!
This unique multi-media event will delight jazz fans, classic movie buffs, and anyone who has ever been in love.
