Michel Hausser proposes a history, his own history of
jazz, a journey in time, punctuated with anecdotes, film
archives and interviews. Different stages highlight his
journey, each one proving to be a key turning point in
his career as a vibraphonist, often as a result of new
encounters leading to new collaborations. Michel Hausser
returns to the "Chat qui pêche", the jazz club he founded,
ran and played at on the Left Bank, Paris, in the fifties.
He relives the emotions and experiences of youth and tells
of his encounters with Milt Jackson and Stéphane Grappelli,
among many others.
