The Booksellers documentary - NYC Theatrical Release

The Booksellers is a great documentary that I had the pleasure of scoring - it’s my 6th time working with Director D.W. Young. After premiering at the New York Film Festival last fall, It’s showing this week at Quad Cinema in NYC, March 6th-12th. There’s a great write-up about the film in the NY Times.

There’s also some great jazz quintet performances of compositions that I wrote for the film, featuring Vinnie Sperraza on drums, Kevin Sun on sax, JP Shleigelmilch on piano and wurlitzer, Gary Wang on bass and myself on guitar.

“D.W. Young’s elegant and absorbing documentary is a lively tour of New York’s bookworld, populated by an assortment of obsessives, intellects, eccentrics and dreamers, past and present: from the Park Avenue Armory’s annual Antiquarian Book Fair, where original editions can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars; to the Strand and Argosy bookstores, still standing against all odds; to the beautifully crammed apartments of collectors and buyers. Executive produced by Parker Posey, the film features a range of commentators, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese, and a community of dedicated book dealers and collectors who strongly believe in the wonder of the object and what it holds within.”
