30th March 2010 – at 9 pm
Venice – La Fenice Theatre

Any fan of Woody Allen’s films knows that the comedy legend has always had a special place in his heart for jazz music-particularly the old Dixieland sound. What you might not know is that Woody is an avid jazz musician himself (the director plays clarinet) and his band, the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band, has been going strong for years.

Woody Allen has taken his clarinet beyond the status of prop or hobby with his famous Monday-night New York club gigs , and the New Orleans jazz septet will be now at the prestigious La Fenice Theatre in Venice with its bespectacled celebrity front-man playing it absolutely straight.

As a musician, he innovatively plays the clarinet and replicates to perfection the sounds of jazz from its origins, supported by an encyclopaedic musical knowledge that is evident in the colours of his identifiable musical selections. A can’t miss evening.

Tickets: from Euro 30,00 to Euro 90,00
