‘The summer of 2004. The place: Copenhagen, where the legendary jazz club re-opened for the first time in more than 30 years—but only for a very brief time: two days. For this very special occasion, some of the oldest veteran musicians of the club got together with a handful of younger newcomers to philosophise on the meaning of life and the current state of our society—and to give us remarkable interpretations, full of energy, at the old jazz club.‘Music is the shortest way to reach the heart, Didier Lockwood basically tells us in this film made by another musician, pianist Niels Lan Doky. The film is not aimed only at enlightened jazz fans: it speaks to the heart of every sensitive person. But Philistine that I am, when it comes to jazz, I was delighted and am going to rush out to get the soundtrack, available on the Blue Saphir label, to relive a bit of this magic, grace and the melancholy of departures.’ J.
