“The music and the magic come together...”

DramaMusic

Inside the Blue Note nightclub one night in 1959 Paris, an aged, ailing jazzman coaxes an eloquent wail from his tenor sax. Outside, a young Parisian too broke to buy a glass of wine strains to hear those notes. Soon they will form a friendship that sparks a final burst of genius.

VIBE

A smoky, late-night immersion into the lifeblood of jazz. It feels like the mournful, beautiful sound of a saxophone echoing through a dimly lit Parisian street, a poignant exploration of genius and flawed humanity.
