An exceptional recording from 1974 featuring Dizzy Gillespie and his quartet at the Berliner Jazztage, one of Europe's most prominent jazz festivals. The concert, marked by virtuosity, humor, and refinement, set the audience's hearts racing. A striking historical document and a highlight in the international history of jazz.

In 1987, to capitalize on his growing success in Europe, Prince toured extensively to promote the album of the same name and sales increased accordingly. However, the United States remained resistant to his latest album, and sales began to drop; it was at this point that Prince decided to film a live concert promoting the new material, for eventual distribution to theaters in America. Featuring the band that accompanied Prince on his 1987 Sign o' the Times Tour, including dancer Cat Glover, keyboardist Boni Boyer, bassist Levi Seacer, Jr., guitarist Miko Weaver, drummer Sheila E. and former member of The Revolution keyboardist Dr. Fink, the film sees the group perform live on stage (although "U Got the Look" is represented by its promotional music video).
