Take The "A" Train: Jazz e altre visioni: Jazz Films by Gianni Amico

https://ehsankhoshbakht.blogspot.com/2015/06/amico.html

Take The "A" Train. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Jazz e altre visioni: Jazz Films by Gianni Amico. One of my latest discoveries in the world of European jazz films comes from Italy.

However, his name might have a special resonance for those who have seen the chapter of Jean-Luc Godard's Histoire(s) du cinéma.

But guess who appeared on its very last broadcast? Interestingly, ...
