Weaving together narrative, three live concerts and interview clips, Producer Jim Luce teamed up with three of today's jazz giants to create a memorable event. Pianist Renee Rosnes and her Quartet honor tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson. Trombonist Steve Toure and an All-Star band (including trumpeter Wallace Roney, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Victor Lewis and pianist Xavier Davis) honor the transformational jazz trombonist J.J. Johnson and alto saxophonist Gary Bartz and his Quartet honor the great alto saxophonist Jackie McLean.
