Outside, a young Parisian too broke to buy a class of wine strains to hear those notes. Soon they will form a friendship that sparks a final burst of genius in the fading musician. Round Midnight, set to Herbie Hanclock's superb Academy Award winning Best Original Score, is an elegant ode to bebop - the technically demanding jazz that blossomed during the postwar era - and to the expatriate black Americans who created, nurtured and lived it, Directed by Bertrand Tavernir and showcasing tenor sax great Dexter Gordon in a remarkable performance, Round Midnight is an awesome musical journey.
