Silent Movies
The following is a list of silent movies shown in Washington DC, with piano performance by Burnett Thompson. Mr. Thompson's scores are extemporaneously improvised, and provide an instant interpretation of the action on the screen.
Many thanks to Sylvia Blume at the Goethe Cultural Institute in Washington, DC, Peggy Parsons at the National Gallery of Art, and Tom Vick at the Freer Gallery. For further info, contact Burnett@PianoJazz.com
