The “Shades of Jazz on Noir” film presents excerpts from the classic film noir works of the 1940s and 1950s crafted to express the fatality, passion, and danger created by directors who pioneered the lively lighting techniques and psychologically expressive approach to classic noir. It’s is viewed from the Femme Fatale of those classics creating a fresh and unusual media experience.
This film combines the passion and despondency of classic film noir with the texture and dynamism of modern jazz, resulting in a unique, growth oriented experience for film, jazz and new music audiences.

This highly original project features the Herb Robertson’s Freak Lip Kill Band who will literally plate Jazz on Noir.
