From Frank Sinatra to Louis Armstrong & beyond

Chris Hopkins, a leading figure on the international jazz scene with over 5,000 concerts to his credit, presents a summit meeting with young European jazz prodigies. From Sinatra to Armstrong, these exceptional musicians offer a journey where tradition becomes a resolutely modern source of inspiration, serving a timeless music. A "Keeper of the Flame" and recipient of an award from the French Jazz Academy in Paris, Chris Hopkins reveals that, like the giants he has worked alongside (Clark Terry, Butch Miles, and Scott Hamilton), the younger generation retains the same passion and urgency to create. Switching from piano to saxophone, he passes the torch to a vibrant new generation that proves swing is not a matter of era, but of pure energy.
