A documentary celebration of the music of Dizzy Gillespie.
In the 1940s, bebop was born. It was a time for daring musical innovation and at the heart of it was John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie who introduced Afro-Cuban rhythms into American jazz. Music would never be the same again and nor would Dizzy himself. For 40 years he conducted a musical love-affair with Cuba, and then, in 1987, he was invited to the 5th International Jazz Festival in Havana.
Part travelogue and part intimate portrait, the film culminates in a concert with Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.
