Blue Notes





I'd forgotten how good Dexter Gordon was in this film by Bertrand Tavernier.

I watched it over the weekend for the first time since it came out in 1986.

The score by Herbie Hancock won an Oscar.

Gordon played a composite of Bud Powell and Lester Young, who lived and played in Paris in the late fifties.
