Agree completely. Sampe - to my knowledge - has not made other movies. I saw her recently performing at the 7 Lezards night club in Paris. She was sensational. One of the rare artists with the integrity not to make compromises. Oh for a film - short or long - featuring her art. Sampe is comparable to all the jazz legends. We see so few of our contemporary jazz leaders on film these days especially if their music is not easy listening. Sampe is a very exciting artist ... a Black American 'exiled in Paris' and shamefully ignored by the mainstream music industry. Her arrangements and reconstructions of jazz and blues standards should be reaching far wider audiences. Let's hope that the next film she appears in does more justice to this underexposed artist.
