Novecento : pianiste
Born on a cruiser during the inter-war period, Novecento, turned 30, never landed foot on the ground. He spends his life on the Atlantic ocean playing the grand piano, his hands on the 88 black and white keys, playing a rare and splendid score that only belongs to him: the music of the ocean. Novecento’s story is timeless, it is told on a boat by a former trumpeter (Jean-François Balmer) who improvises its turnabouts as if playing a jazz chorus, tuned on the music composed by Archie Shepp…
