New Doc on Vince Giordano to Screen in NYC

Musicians, including Vince Giordano, in scene from Boardwalk Empire

On Jan. 13, the Cinema Village will host the New York City premiere of Vince Giordano: There’s a Future in the Past, the story of the composer, musician and bandleader’s unique career as a purveyor of hot-jazz music and culture.

Giordano’s contributions to film and television soundtracks include The Aviator, The Cotton Club and HBO’s Grammy Award-winning Boardwalk Empire. With his band, the Nighthawks, Giordano is a staple of the NYC scene, performing his own compositions as well as the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Fletcher Henderson and others.
