Inspired by the life of legendary jazz pianist Bud Powell, this is the Academy Award-winning story of an American expatriate musician who tries to make order of his life during the great jazz millieu of 1950s Paris. The New York Times commends its tremendous depth of feeling and lovely, elegiac pace.... [This] is a glowing, masterly tribute. Starring real-life tenor-sax great Dexter Gordon, performing live with some of the world's top jazz musicians on screen and on the Grammy-winning soundtrack, both under the music supervision of Oscar-winning co-star Herbie Hancock. Also starring Lonette McKee (Jungle Fever, The Cotton Club) and director Martin Scorsese (GoodFellas).
