A feature-length documentary on the life and music of trumpeter
Chet Baker, centering on a lengthy interview given a few months

the jazz experience.  Other interviewees include Jack Sheldon, his

attempted comebacks, performances stand out at a recording session
and at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, where he plays and sings
Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue."  Vintage footage shows Baker on a
fifties television show and a Steve Allen program from 1968. 
Excerpts from Hell's Horizon and a couple of Italian B-films show
glimpses of him, singing "Arrivederci" in one.  A scene from All
the Fine Young Cannibals, in which Robert Wagner plays a jazz
trumpeter originally slated for Baker, is included.  Includes the
songs "Imagination," "My Funny Valentine," "My One and Only Love"

Film Festival and nominated for an Academy Award.

group, the Zion Harmonizers, sublimate in their own fashion through

Cuban band leader Frank "Machito" Grillo, who died in 1984,
embodied the history of Latin Jazz, especially Afro-Cuban jazz, in
a career that spanned fifty years.  These forms are featured in

together vintage film clips and recordings, Hollywood production
numbers, and street performances from Twenties' Cuba to
contemporary New York, this documentary traces the historical
evolution of Latin Jazz from its roots in Cuba.  Contributions from
Spanish, African and European classical music traditons are
acknowledged, as well as the complex bass rhythms that characterize
the music.  Includes shows at the Cotton Club during the golden era
of Latin Jazz in the Forties and Fifties.  Musicians Ray Barreto,
Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker and Tito Puente pay
tribute with their memories and stories via filmed interview
excerpts.  Narrated by Pablo Guzman.  1988 First Prize Winner at

Dizzy Gillespie and his Band (including Sayyd Abdul Alkhabir and
Walter Davis, Jr.), invited to headline the Fifth International
Jazz Festival of Havana, joins El Conjunto Folklorico Nacional de
Cuba, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and his Band and Arturo Sandoval and his
Band for his first visit to Cuba, long the subject of a musical
love affair for Gillespie.  His bebop incorporated Afro-Cuban
rhythms in American jazz; here he finally experiences first-hand
the African drumming, chanting and dancing which formed one of the
wellsprings of his creativity.  Talking with Fidel Castro, he
discovers that the Nigerian religions practiced throughout Cuba
were also prevalent in his native South Carolina, in the person of
the root man.  In the persona of a storyteller for much of the
film, Gillespie also performs some of his best-known compositions.
