The Cry of Jazz is set in Chicago at the meeting of a jazz appreciation club of musicians and intellectuals, both Black and White. It is broken up into seven parts. Parts one, three, five, and seven center around conversations between the jazz club members. Parts two, four, and six are done in a documentary style and utilize footage of life in Chicago as well as of Sun Ra’s band performing the music. Alex, the film’s main character, serves as narrator during these sections. Although the film is nominally about jazz, jazz is utilized primaily as a metaphor through which to understand the African American experience.![Return to Gorée](/imagesen/small/12701.jpg)

Retour à Gorée raconte le périple du chanteur africain Youssou N'Dour sur les traces des esclaves noirs et de la musique qu'ils ont inventée : le jazz. Son défi: rapporter en Afrique un répertoire de jazz et le chanter à Gorée, l'île symbole de la traite négrière, en hommage aux victimes de l'esclavage. Guidé dans sa quête par le pianiste Moncef Genoud, Youssou N'Dour parcourt les États-Unis et l'Europe.![A Great Day in Harlem](/imagesen/small/111242.jpg)
