The New Yorker special
Description
This beautiful film portrays the life and artistry of renowned guitar builder James D'Aquisto. D'Aquisto exemplifies what it means to be a great craftsman. Each guitar represents his total commitment to his art. At a time when instruments are mostly factory-made, it is impressive to learn that it takes him a month to complete one guitar by hand. He reminisces about his 12-year apprenticeship. The film takes us to the Village Vanguard in New York City, where we enjoy the sound of D Aquisto s guitars at a lively concert by the Jim Hall Trio. We also hear jazz guitarist Joe Puma play in D'Aquisto s workshop.
