JAZZ@ Episode 2: Kris Bowers & Laura Mvula
Jazz
This Grammy-nominated film captures Sade's mesmerizing arena concert in Ontario, California, featuring their million-selling hits, including "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King."
The simplicity of Sade’s music belies its complexity, combining soulful and jazz elements with pop and funk. Sade Adu’s distinctive vocals, often compared to Billie Holiday, lead a tight-knit group of musicians: guitarist Stuart Mathewman, bassist Paul Denman, and keyboardist Andrew Hale, all of whom are clearly passionate about their craft.
Shot in vibrant color and shimmering black and white by acclaimed British director Sophie Muller, this sold-out show was part of a 106-date world tour that captivated over 800,000 fans. The concert features “No Ordinary Love,” “By Your Side,” and “Soldier of Love.”
