In Rising Above The Blues we meet Jimmy Scott, who has had profound influence on the world of jazz and pop, but was never recognized by a wider audience. The document takes us behind the record production, where artists and musicians like Kenny Barron, John Pisano or Peter Erskine are telling their own story about Jimmy Scott. We get a look behind the scenery and find out how this record is carried out. This Making-Of is a moving document about an unknown icon of music history.
