Bruce Hornsby's Soundtrack To Spike Lee's RED HOOK SUMMER Available Now Digitally
CD Released On August 28th
"Red Hook Summer," like most of Mr. Lee's films, has a prominent musical soundtrack that underscores the editorial tone of the screenplay, written by Mr. Lee with James McBride. Its binding ingredient is the sturdy, gospel-tinged piano of Bruce Hornsby…" Stephen Holden, NY Times

RED HOOK SUMMER, Hornsby's second project for 429 Records, follows up 2011's BRIDE OF THE NOISEMAKERS—a 2CD collection of 25 handpicked songs recorded live on tour in various venues between 2007 and 2009. The American singer, pianist, accordion player and songwriter has nurtured a highly respected repertoire, drawing freely from the musical worlds of classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, rock and blues. This diversity is reflected in his songwriting and the seamless improvisations of his creative live performances.
RED HOOK SUMMER is a film written and directed by Spike Lee. The film will be released on August 10th by 40 Acres and a Mule. The story is centered on Flik Royale, a thirteen year old boy from Atlanta who is sent to live with his preacher grandfather, Da Good Bishop Enoch Rouse.
