FORGOTTEN TENOR

Monday  August  17

7:00 PM

The Talking Stick Lounge
1411 Lincoln Blvd.
Venice  90291

Cost: Free

FORGOTTEN TENOR (‘94, 136m) at 7:30pm- Abraham Ravett's experimental documentary pays tribute to bebop saxophonist WARDELL GRAY, who was a contemporary of Count Basie and Charlie Parker. Ravett is interested in why some figures are inscribed in history and others are not, but he is primarily concerned with the process of investigating a person's life--the attempt to construct a vision of a figure from incomplete and fragmentary documents. Wardell Gray's story is pieced together from both willing and reluctant witnesses, film snippets, personal letters, home movies and photographs, and a number of incredible recordings. The inevitable gap between a life lived and a life remembered is suggested by Ravett's use of animation and recreations. Whether trying to connect with a potential interviewee by phone, examining a photograph, or explaining the economics of avant-garde productions, Ravett reveals the stories behind oral histories. His portrait not only provides a face to the sound, it evokes a sense of what it is like to be a black musician in postwar America. With Clark Terry, Art Farmer, Teddy Edwards. 6pm- rare Jimmy Smith & Jaki Byrd films. The Talking Stick Lounge is located at the corner of Lincoln and California streets, next to the Pollo Loco. 310-450-6052
