 Steamboat Willie brings New Orleans to campus | University Relations
Steamboat Willie, a New Orleans trumpet player visiting Williamsburg, joined College jazz instructor Harris Simon on piano and harmonica, Jordan Ponzi on bass and Dana Fitzsimons (J.D. ’01) on drums in a dazzling performance of Dixieland and old standards.
Steamboat’s journey from Louisiana to the campus began a month ago and, not unlike good jazz, is the result of some inspiration, a lot of collaboration and a little serendipity.
“Steamboat just started teaching … how to accompany him when he did the melody and then fill in during the breaks… almost a call-and-answer kind of thing.” The practice was essential because “you have to have it in your ear before you play” if it is really going to flow naturally.

 Antologia di Topolino
Nasce così l’idea di Steamboat Willie, che si gioca tutto, appunto, sul missaggio sonoro a tempo di musica (tecnica che, nel cinema “in carne e ossa”, sarà poi portata a livelli ancora più sublimi dal Mamoulian di Amami stanotte).
Il paradisiaco universo di Steamboat Willie non è più tanto a portata di mano, così come l’arte non è a portata di tutti: il senso stesso, in fin dei conti, del suddetto L’apprendista stregone, in cui lo stregone adulto è stato ribattezzato Yen Sid, anagramma (ironico ma non troppo) del cognome Disney stesso.
Infarcito di citazioni (anche adulte: L’esorcista a braccetto con Steamboat Willie) e giocato su uno humor non lontanissimo da Matt Groening (ovviamente ingentilito), è un piacevolissimo esempio di “Disney post-modern”, ma resta sostanzialmente un divertissement, poco più che un’appendice a una galleria di famiglia questa sì gloriosa.
