Music has always been a passion for Woody Allen. He performs most Monday nights with the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City – always a hot ticket. He only takes a break when he makes films, but this year, the band is heading over to join Allen in France.
Production starts next month on the comedy set in the 1920s starring Colin Firth and Emma Stone. Filming in the south of France, Woody Allen and the band have announced a one of date in Lyon and one in Antibes. It is the first time they have ever played there.
