Director Slavcho Nikolov about JAZOSPECTION - French Jazz in Pictures. Planet Earth is wonderful, religions teach us good, but the greed of people makes the world what it is today, and it is up to us what it will be! The harmony that is created between the music by Claude Bolling and the footage shot by Ron Frick, blends magnificently and complements the overall image of the concert. The selection of footage from the film, Baraka, corresponds with the music of the Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio. A short kaleidoscopic compilation of our times, an attempt of three generations to state their message. Musically, the concert is based on the jazz suite by Claude Bolling, a French composer who wrote the music for over a hundred films, most famously "California Suite" and "Three Men to Kill" .

"Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio" was written in 1975. In the same year it was nominated for a Grammy Award, in the category for "Best Chamber Music". The suite consists of seven movements : "Baroque and Blue", "Sentimental", "Javanese", "Short", "Irish", "Universal" , "Fast". The footage in this concert is taken from Ron Fricke's 1992 film "Baraka". A film without words , shot over 14 months, on 70 mm. film, in 24 countries, on six continents. The tape shows some of the most beautiful places in the world, in a unique frame rate. An unforgettable film that every one of us should watch.Each part looks at the evolutionary development of our civilization in its own theme. "Nature", "Religions", "Minerals", "The wars fought over them" , "The people and the children" , "Urbanization" and "The system".

With the message - let's try to make it better for future generations!
