“‘Round Midnight”: Best Jazz Film Ever?

A legendary jazz musician, Dexter Gordon, plays…a legendary jazz musician, in a film that’s almost like a jazz composition itself. Other outstanding jazz players join him for several numbers as well, in ‘Round Midnight.

I recently acquired the Criterion edition of the film. It’s amazing how much they improved the film!

Always loved that movie. Didn't catch it in the theater but I think it was on the grammy's when McFerrin did that performance (Round Midnight) which piqued the interest so I probably rented it on VHS. Had to pick up the CD or maybe it was vinyl and then there was another one called "The Other Side of Round Midnight" which, I think, was additional songs that didn't make that first soundtrack.

"Lush Life" about Billy Strayhorn is another good jazz biopic

Question: there is a french audio track on this DVD?

Saw this movie back in the 80's. I remember being very moved by Dexter's performance. Now after watching your video I really really want to see it again. Would you happen to know the most affordable way to currently watch the film? Thx.. Bird Lives! 🎷
