Miami Dade College Koubek Memorial Center
On November 8, 2015, a group of musicians from different generations, who revere the successful career of the famous saxophonist, decided to pay tribute to Cuban musician extraordinaire Paquito D’Rivera at the Miami club Habana 305.
The memorable jam turned out to be one of those unrepeatable moments – because they are legendary – only given to the freedom that jazz summons, and a group of creative musicians motivated to offer the best of their art.
Director Jorge Soliño took advantage of the opportunity and filmed the concert that would end up being a key piece in the documentary about the life of Paquito D’Rivera, from his childhood in Havana, where he proved to be a precocious genius, to the peak of a career that already has a separate chapter in the history of jazz.
A Night in the Life underscores the triumph of personal and creative freedom over the infamy of a failed regime.
