Al Jarreau was used to juggling genres, and his discography swung between jazz, pop and R&B. First appearing on the scene in the 1970s, this son of a pastor and a pianist from the Seventh Day Adventist Church didn't take long to be considered one of the most original vocalists of his time.

Screening followed by a Q&A with Yasmina Jaafar, journalist and author of the book "Ils ont choisi la France"

In English.
