Woke Up This Mornin'
[Music / Film] The ABC is part way through a Blues festival. The radio pieces are already going to air, but the seven films that make up The Blues (that had a short cinema run last year) don't start until July 2nd.
Under the guiding hand of executive producer Martin Scorsese, The Blues is a seven-part television series of personal and impressionistic films viewed through the lens of seven world famous directors who share a passion for the music. The programs, by Scorsese, Charles Burnett, Clint Eastwood, Mike Figgis, Marc Levin, Richard Pearce and Wim Wenders capture the essence of blues music and delve into its global influence - from its roots in Africa to its inspirational role in today's music.As a music doco fan I'll be tuning in, or at least setting the VCR.
