Chasing Train

Saturday 13/01 - 17:00 Principal Theater

John Scheinfeld - 99' - United States

— Back —

When John Coltrane saw Charlie Parker play for the first time he understood that his instrument was an open door to unsuspected horizons. Chasing Trane uses the testimony of Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk to recount the life story of a saxophonist of universal standing: from his birth in a North Carolina still eaten up by racial segregation to a refuge under the wing of mentors like Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis or Thelonius Monk, his struggle against heroin and the forging of a musical concept rooted in the humanism that always guided Coltrane's steps. Narrated by Denzel Washington.
