Portrait of Claude Nobs who was the mind behind the Montreux Jazz Fest.
This is a film that needs to be many more hours longer. Made up of clips from the Jazz fest (almost every performance has been recorded) this is a film that will make your jaw drop. There is so many great performances (Nina Simone, Prince)
It is also a battle between Nobs story and the music. The music is excellent but it over powers the the story of Nobs and the Jazz Fest, which feels shoe horned in. It's not fatal but you realize that 90 minutes is too short.
That said- you need to see this film for the music.
