Boccaccio ‘70 ( 1962 )
April 9th, 2005 | 
Author: 
In Boccaccio ‘70 (1962) verfilmen drie van Italië’s beste en meest toonaangevende regisseurs elk één van Boccaccio’s erotische vertellingen (ieder met zijn favoriete leading lady). In Federico Fellini’s Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio prikkelt Anita Ekberg de overspannen verbeelding van een dokter. Eerste kleurenfilm voor Fellini en een teken van de dingen die nog komen gingen. Romi Schneider (opgegroeid en opengebloeid sinds Sissi) schittert in Il lavoro, LuchinoVisconti’s bittere pareltje over een vrouw (Schneider) die wraak neemt op haar overspelige minnaar. En Vittorio De Sica en ‘zijn’ Sophia Loren doen met La riffa wat ze later nog vaak met succes zullen herhalen : een pittige komedie maken met een temperamentvolle madame in de hoofdrol. De lichtverteerbare moraal van Boccaccio ‘70 : waar liggen de seksuele grenzen van elkeen en hoe die te herkennen.

horace silver trio ( 1952 )
b. Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silva, 2 September 1928, Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Silver studied piano and tenor saxophone at school, settling on the former instrument for his professional career. Early influences included Portuguese folk music (from his father), blues and bop. He formed a trio for local gigs which included backing visiting musicians. One such visitor, Stan Getz, was sufficiently impressed to take the trio on the road with him in 1950. The following year Silver settled in New York, playing regularly at Birdland and other leading venues. In 1952, he began a long-lasting association with Blue Note Records, recording under his own name and with other leaders. In 1953, he formed a band named the Jazz Messengers with Art Blakey, who later adopted the name for all his own groups. ( … )
