It’s International Jazz Day on 30 April. To celebrate we’re screening one of the ultimate jazz movies.

In the 1950s, Dale Turner (Dexter Gordon), a gifted black saxophonist with a drinking problem, leaves behind New York and his estranged family and relocates to Paris to play. Here he encounters a French fan (François Cluzet) who tries to help Dale fight his demons, ultimately re-kindling his spirit and his music.

“You do not need to know a lot about jazz to appreciate what is going on because, in a certain sense, this movie teaches you everything about jazz that you really need to know.'“ Roger Ebert, film critic.

Live introduction by music expert Adam Sieff from Deal Radio’s Jazz On The Beach.
