The Paris Jazz Festival is a tradition in the jazz concert calendar with artists from around the world delighted to accept an invitation to perform.
The unique 1987 Paris Jazz Festival series not only captures some of jazz's finest innovators in concert but also the rehearsals for this prestigious event and candid backstage interviews with the artists.
In 1986, when superstar bands were the rage throughout the music industry, Chico Freeman brought together The Leaders, an all-star sextet of internationally recognized bandleaders.
The group, consisting of Arthur Blythe, Lester Bowie, Chico Freeman, Kirk Lightsey, Cecil McBee & Don Moye, set the standard for eclectic and innovative music from a band comprised entirely of composers, and for many were the highlight of the 1987 festival.
