Mark, sorry I'll miss the movie and your talk/play. I'm in the city this weekend for a show but not until friday. You must have solid nerves to be able to do all this public playing. I get shaky when I play for my wife....

That was such a short notice!
I guess performers gotta have one or two pieces that they are ready to play anytime, in case something like this happens.

Just a reminder that there will be showings in New York on the next 2 Sundays (May 23 & 30) at 2:30 PM, at the Thalia/Symphony Space on Broadway & 96th Street. In addition to the screening of the film, there will be a Q & A and brief performances by me and Henri Delbeau, who was a finalist in the Cliburn competition that is covered in the film. I will also be helping to host this event. Link for more info If any of you do attend, please come by afterwards and say hello!!

Does anyone know how to schedule a screening? I'd love to have this show in my area!
Actually, I'd love to buy the DVD...still not available?

Hey there! How about I put the producer in touch with you? I think she'll be thrilled to write or talk to you. You don't need to give me any contact info for yourself......I know how to tell her to be in touch. About the DVD: It will be made available again very soon. They're doing a 2-week run of the movie (two showings per night) in New York to sort of "celebrate" that. The flick just got great reviews this week in the NY Times and Village Voice. And I just got back from the opening of the NY run. We had one of those Q&A/performing gigs after each showing. They're always awesome. P.S. I'm thrilled that you're so interested!

Cool! But, from the article: "Professional musicians, actors and other performing artists, when they get to talking about their work, can, let’s face it, be kind of boring in a self-absorbed, detached-from-reality way." Really? Talking to someone about his or her profession always carries the risk of boredom or alienation, just because the professional is so steeped in it, but surely talking with a professional artist should be one of the less boring experiences? (Also, as long as I'm in critical mode, I expect more from the Times than that "let's face it", with its faux-casual coloring, as if the author is finally going to drop formal pretense and address some uncomfortable truth we've all been thinking but have been too polite to mention. None of which really applies here. Lazy writing. ) -J

I agree. Maybe this bunch talks more interestingly than your average bunch of professional musicians -- maybe -- but I cringed when I read that opening. I wasn't about to complain, especially because when I saw the review I was with some people involved with the film. But that stuff was a turn-off, a cheap shot with no particular meaning, and it arguably damages the credibility and influence of the review. I was thrilled that the reviewer liked the film but I wished he hadn't made his point that way.

Great to see that so many people are interested! I'm sure it'll be possible to order from anywhere, because the DVD is expected to be available through all the usual internet outlets. Just found out that the expected release date is Nov. 15.

I just received my copy from neoflix yesterday in the mail. Seems that it's selling now at that particular store and not as a preorder for November. I bought it using this link: http://www.neoflix.com/store/EEF68/The site has no information on delivery dates and they don't even inform you when they post the DVD, so beware of that if you decide to order from that link. Haven't watched it yet, as I've been busy, but I plan to watch it sometime this week as i've only seen the trailers about the documentary so far.
