Sid´s New Glasses
US
2015
D: Raymond Alvin

Sidney Shavelson feels quite comfortable
living in his mind and not wanting to see most things. But with his
eyesight failing he is forced to get new eye glasses and his universe
is turned upside down.
New
York´s Lower East Side injects a little Klezmer colour with solo
clarinet and soprano saxophone. The instrumentation is band-based, with
a string handling that we remember from the studio orchestras of the
60s and 70s, just the time when Sid might have listened to this kind of
music.
