Inside the Blue Note nightclub one night in 1959 Paris, an aged, ailing jazzman coaxes an eloquent wail from his tenor sax. Outside, a young Parisian too broke to buy a glass of wine strains to hear those notes. Soon they will form a friendship that sparks a final burst of genius.

Join us at 6:00 PM for 4 Canadian Jazz shorts, presented by the NFB.

International Jazz Day, held on April 30, is an annual global celebration designed to honor jazz not just as a musical genre, but as a “universal language of freedom” that promotes peace, diversity, and dialogue between cultures. 

It’s the culmination of Jazz Appreciation Month. In nearly 200 countries, fans host jam sessions, concerts, masterclasses, and film screenings to celebrate the music’s history.
