jazzkrow Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 John Hawkes plays Joe Albany in new movie- "Low Down" opening next month nationally. Based on Joe's daughter, Amy's book. Here is link to trailer: http://insidemovies.ew.com/tag/low-down/ Looks like a movie to catch... Quote
jlhoots Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 The book is good.Hopefully the movie will be too. Quote
sgcim Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 Just finished the book. Hopefully they're not going to make too big a deal out of JA's issues... Maybe it will create two or three more jazz fans... Quote
paul secor Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 Just finished the book. Hopefully they're not going to make too big a deal out of JA's issues... Maybe it will create two or three more jazz fans... I think that it will be pretty hard to avoid his "issues". Quote
colinmce Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 In fact, I think that's the whole point. I doubt there will be much music altogether. Quote
paul secor Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 NY Times review of the film: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/24/movies/low-down-on-growing-up-with-joe-albany.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3Aw%2C%7B%222%22%3A%22RI%3A15%22%7D Quote
AllenLowe Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 the book is brilliant, I think; haven't seen the movie (don't think I can take it), but the TImes review was very dumb, I thought. Clearly by someone who had not a clue about Joe or what he did. Quote
sidewinder Posted September 2, 2017 Report Posted September 2, 2017 Just picked up a new copy of the book for £3. Interesting read ! Quote
