Ron Mann’s Carmine Street Guitars plays a familiar, but comforting tune GlobeArts
There are worse gigs than being a documentary filmmaker. Just look at Canada’s Ron Mann, who went down to Carmine Street Guitars in Greenwich Village and hung out while virtuosos the ilk of Charlie Sexton, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot and Christine Bougie came in and not only played the dickens out of some gorgeous handmade instruments, but interviewed guitar-shop owner Rick Kelly, too.
Kelly is a quiet craftsman who lives without smartphones and computers and who uses repurposed wood from New York landmarks to build his unique electric guitars. Nothing much happens in this pleasantly casual 80-minute conversation of a documentary. It doesn’t come to you; you must come to it – like a Jim Jarmusch film, particularly hisfrom 2003. Mann’s simple ode to Kelly and Carmine Street Guitars makes a case for creativity, community and the magic of old ways.
