Musicians have been making the transition to the big screen ever since Elvis—recently, Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan and Prince in Purple Rain, of course—but few seem to be doing it with the sheer zeal of Gordon Sumner, a.k.a. Sting.
Quadrophenia, Ever since his the movie 34-year-old debut as rock the star “Ace has Face” in seemed as intent on making it as big in acting as he has in music. And, with the release of his latest, Bring On The Night, it would appear that he’s amply succeeded.
Bring On The Night is, quite simply, the story of the formation of Sting’s new band—which includes top jazz musicians Branford Marsalis (sax), Kenny Kirkland (piano), Omar Hakim (drums) and Darryl Jones (bass). “I think of it as an honest look into 10 days of my life,” Sting says. “If I were to make the film now, the music would be better because my music has gotten better playing with this band.”
