DAVID AXELROD
IN PERSON!
Premiere! DAVID AXELROD LIVE AT THE ROYAL
FESTIVAL HALL, 2007, 93 min. Dir. Dana Axelrod. "Axelrod speaks with the
same musical vocabulary as Burt Bacharach and Ennio Morricone, his art is dreamt in deeper
atmospheric shades and, significantly, pays far greater attention to the rhythm
section." -- The LA Weekly David Axelrod is an LA native and a legend. His
jazz, filled with taught strings and sparse often dissonant arrangements, has become the
raw material of today’s hiphop. As a house producer at Capitol Records in the
1960’s, he produced many hits for Cannonball Adderley, Lou Rawls and David McCallum.
As a solo artist, his William Blake-inspired trilogy "Songs of Innocence, Songs of
Experience and Earth Rot" inspired many, from George Lucas to Allen Ginsberg to RZA.
DJ Shadow and Lauryn Hill who have used his arrangements. Dr. Dre’s biggest hit of
the late 1990’s "Next Episode" was sampled from his work. The Royal
Festival Hall is one of Britain's most remarkable modernist architectural triumphs -- as
such it was a perfect place for David Axelrod to play his debut concert in the UK and a
once in a lifetime opportunity for the sold-out crowd. Most of his music, recorded studios
in Los Angeles, had never been played live, and the orchestra rose to the occasion.
Backstage, it had been for Axelrod "One hell of a show!" Discussion
following with David Axelrod and filmmaker Dana Axelrod. Tribute set by JRocc of the World Famous Beatjunkies in the
Courtyard will follow the screening.
Special Prices: General Admission: $15; Seniors & Students: 12; Cinematheque
Members: $10.
Presented in association with Mochilla, ArtDontSleep & Dublab.
