Legacy - jazzens barn
Den fascinerande historien om när Skandinavien på 1950-, 60- och 70-talen blev en kreativ fristad för svarta amerikanska jazzstjärnor som Dexter Gordon, Don Cherry och Quincy Jones. Här kunde de undkomma mycket av den rasism som förföljde dem i USA, spela på lokala klubbar och uttrycka sig...
"The fascinating story of when Scandinavia in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s became a creative haven for black American jazz stars like Dexter Gordon, Don Cherry, and Quincy Jones. Here they could escape much of the racism that followed them in the USA, play at local clubs, and express themselves freely. It is the grown-up children of the artists who tell the story in this documentary, and it is a story about the consequences that children sometimes bear for their fathers' freedom."
