Since Tom Hall’s bow as programmer in 2005, the Sarasota Film Festival has become known for excellent musical performances in addition to its film program and in the first of this year’s performances, at the opening night party, crooner Matt Dusk belted out Louis Prima’s “Just a Gigolo,” in addition to many other originals and standards. I don’t know about you, but I’m buying his new CD, Matt Dusk-Back In Town!
I apologize for the lack of closeups, but the band was separated from the crowd by a moat. No, I am not shitting you. A moat.
