Dave Brubeck is (and continues to be) a giant in the jazz scene, perhaps best known for his mellow instrumental ballad "Take Five," which altered the face of modern jazz. Rediscover Brubeck and his music via this unique profile of the man, interspersed with some of Brubeck's patented California-style cool jazz riffs.
This documentary begins with the story of the prelude to World War II, and goes on to analyze such events as the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, rise of the dictators, the spread of fascism in Italy, the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Spanish Civil War, the Munich Agreement, Hitler's March into Czechoslovakia, the Blitzkrieg and invasion of Poland, the fall of Norway, and more.
David Aames has it all: wealth, good looks and gorgeous women on his arm. But just as he begins falling for the warmhearted Sofia, his face is horribly disfigured in a car accident.
