Bertrand Tavervinier is successful in the way he incorporates starling music performance and his story. Very few movie directors are able to do this. The viewers, therefore, benefit both from the story and music. One amazing thing with the Round Midnight movie is that it maintains the jazz authentic atmosphere. This is made possible by the stunning jazz music performance by Tenor sax technically brilliant jazz legend Dexter Gordon and his fellow players. The music played in this movie is well beyond average standards. The Academy Award-winning Herbie Hancock’s supervises the musical performance to ensure that the music is of “class”. This superb organization clearly demonstrates Tavernier’s keenness on oral and visual complexities of the jazz world. To say the least, the movie Round Midnight is a great success.
