A touching film about the heart of music

This film both discovers and remembers Jimmy Scott, a very unique voice within the jazz community during his last years and recording. Producer Ralf Kemper seeks to fulfill a longing after recording his idol.

It's a project that turns into a musical journey beyond a commercial interest. There is simply a love of music that touches and mean something and the story of what someone is ready to do in order to incapsulate an unforgettable performance from a truly unique voice.
