A Great Day in Paris

Directed by Michka Saäl
Canada, 2017 (documentary, 76 minutes, colour, English / French)

Film Description:
"Paris and jazz. The words go together naturally, organically, obviously. The link has been strong since the 1930s, when many American jazzmen started spending serious time in the French capital. The tradition continues today, celebrated in historic photos, tributes to their passion, their sense of showmanship and their affecting way of preserving the legacy. This is a beautiful and simple story told by the late Michka Saäl (Prisonniers de Beckett), who passed away a few days after completing editing on this heartfelt documentary, brimming with music and life."
