The famous saxophone player celebrates his 80th birthday in the Parisian mythical place with all his musicians and dancers. A merry and joyful show, among his friends and audience. No guest stars, but tributes to Maurice Chevalier, Henri Salvador and Sidney Bechet.

From his beginning in the Belgium of the fifties to the stage of the UNO in New York, the artist’s globe trotter soul has given birth a to musical style of his own. A conversation patchwork of all the kinds of music which made him what he is and inspired his art, from Africa to America and the West Indies.
