The film is a journey into the historical Bologna International Jazz Festival. From a smoky cellar to the skyscrapers of New York, chasing an atmosphere together with the protagonists of a movement that marked an era. Unpublished footage unearthed in the Rai Teche archives – Sarah Vaughan, Roland Kirk, Ray Charles, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Charles Mingus, Chet Baker and others – join exclusive interviews today – L ou Donaldson, Benny Golson, Amedeo Tommasi, Cedar Walton, Dave Holland, Giovanni Tommaso, Steve Grossman, Stefano Bollani, Gato Barbieri, George Wein… – in a documentary that wants to reconnect the history of the city that was among the capitals recognized names of European jazz. Swing and improvisation, in the music and in the subject. Fortuitous encounters and indissoluble bonds between great men.

We took care of the story, screenplay, direction and executive production of the documentary My Main Man – Notes for a film on jazz in Bologna, with the contribution of the Emilia-Romagna Region Department of Culture and in collaboration with the Bologna Jazz Festival. The graphic design is by Emmaboshi studio.
