A NIGHT IN HAVANA – DIZZY GILLESPIE IN CUBA
John Holland
The jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, one of the fathers of bebop, comes to Cuba for some guest appearances. The film documents impressions of the trip and the encounter with local musicians and enriches them with partly anecdotal statements of the musician. An informative, entertaining and amusing portrait of a jazz veteran and his music. (O.m.d.U.; TV title: "A Night in Havana")
