KMHD Presents A Night at the Movies with ‘Round Midnight

In the 1950s, Dale Turner (Dexter Gordon), a gifted black saxophonist with a drinking problem, leaves behind New York and his estranged family and relocates to Paris. There he plays for a progressive, jazz-loving audience without being judged by his race, and ages quietly in peace. Not intending to turn away from his vices, Dale nonetheless becomes the project of a French fan (François Cluzet) who tries to help him fight his alcoholism, ultimately inspiring both Dale and his music.

Hosted by Clinton Street Theater and presented by KMHD 89.1FM, Portland’s Jazz Without Boundaries. Doors open at 6:30PM. Because the event is free, it’s first come first serve until capacity. Please arrive early to secure a seat!
