Better known for his screwball comedies and silver screen directorial hits, Woody Allen is also a talented jazz clarinettist. And it was wearing his musician's hat that he made an appearance in Poland on Sunday.
It was a special treat for the Warsaw audience as, although he has toured Europe with his New Orleans Jazz Band once before, these days the 73-year-old - who was accompanied on the trip by third wife Soon-Yi and their daughter Manzie - rarely performs outside his native New York.
"We will do our best to entertain you," Woody promised at the start of the two-hour show, which was the outfit's first-ever concert in the country. And the audience clearly thought the director and his bandmates delivered as they rewarded their performance, which included several solos by Woody, with a standing ovation.
