PLOT: Filmmaker Fernando Trueba explores the many facets of Latin jazz music by focusing on various generations of such musicians. Among those featured and filmed in studio performances around the world are Paquito D'Rivera and his band; pianist Eliane Elias; flamenco jazz stylist Chano Dominguez; trumpeter Jerry Gonzalez; pianist and film composer Michel Camilo; saxophonist Gato Barbieri; musical legend Tito Puente; father/son pianists Bebo and Chucho Valdes; and Afro-Cuban big band musician Chico O'Farrill. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Unless they're into Latin jazz music or are fans of someone in the film, it's not very likely. WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: G For not containing material to warrant a higher rating. CAST AS ROLE MODELS: Since the musicians are really only seen playing their music (with one briefly smoking a cigarette) and being very good at that, that's how they'll be seen as role models.
