SAT. 5/21: GRAHAM CONNAH COMBO’S TRAVELOGUE TONE-POEMS +

True musical treasures, Graham Connah and his motley crew of sonic cohorts have composed original scores for a selection of recently unearthed personal travelogues. Variants of the home movie, these marvelous 16mm mementos are fascinating first-person perspectives on “exotic” destinations. We visit NY’s Central Park and Coney Island, ‘20s Europe, ‘30s Japan, Bali, Cuba–Panama–California excursions, and Kodachrome escapes into the natural wonders of the Heartland. Their live performance is garnished with choice cuts from jazz and experimental music history, including copious clips and commentary on the undersung Raymond Scott. PLUS: Gene Krupa, Harry Partch, and the Cotton Club Tramps. $7.
