SPEEDY (starring Harold Lloyd, 1928, USA) with a new live musical interpretation by the Swing Gypsys
Recently restored, rarely screened, SPEEDY features Harold Lloyd, one of the top three silent film comediens, in a madcap narrative comedy about New York City, transportation wars, baseball, and Coney Island.
The Swing Gypsys will premiere their musical score for SPEEDY, featuring virtuoso improvisations inspired by Django Reinhardt-style gypsy swing jazz for double bass, guitars and violin. The Swing Gypsys includes guitarists David Moulthrop (I.C. School of Music Alum 2004) and Camilo Nascimento, violinist Joseph Prusch (I.C. School of Music Student), and double bassist Akiko Nishimura (I.C. Alum 2004).
