The legendary relationship between jazz and noir during the 20th century gave rise to this multimedia project featuring Rossana Casale and Franco Costantini. In “Bay City Blues” the audience can feel the special atmosphere of Raymond Chandler’s masterpieces: Rossana Casale plays a sophisticated lady and Franco Costantini plays Marlowe, the famous detective, but Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk’s music is the real star of the show.
