Jonathan Demme's Music Doc; The Head And The Heart In Studio

Soundcheck | Oct 14, 2013

This this episode: Filmmaker Jonathan Demme is perhaps best known for The Silence Of The Lambs and Rachel Getting Married, as well as the classic Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense. But his 2012 music documentary is about relatively unknown Italian saxophonist Enzo Avitabile.

Plus, indie folk band The Head And The Heart performs in the Soundcheck studio.
