The great American director will be accompanied on the stage by extraordinary musicians, as the musical director Eddy Davis (banjo), Simon Wettenhall (trumpet), Jerry Zigmont (trombone), Conal Fowkes (piano), Greg Cohen (bass), John Gill (drums) .
Besides being a fine and beloved filmmaker, Woody Allen has always been a fan and expert of jazz. The repertoire of his band is strongly linked to music that Allen has loved and which has drawn inspiration from his childhood, but there are also references to jazz in Chicago and thirties.
