4K capture of the live concert film of the International Jazz Day All-Star Global Concert, held on 30 April 2026 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in the United States. This collective concert closes the 15th edition of International Jazz Day, staged in partnership with UNESCO, gathering more than forty artists from around the world on one stage. Musical direction is led by John Beasley, under the artistic guidance of Herbie Hancock and Kurt Elling. The program opens with a salute to host city Chicago, then unfolds a series of one-off pairings: Buddy Guy and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram on the blues, Dianne Reeves and Christian McBride on In A Sentimental Mood, Gregory Porter and Dee Dee Bridgewater on The In Crowd, alongside Jacob Collier, Marcus Miller, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Robert Glasper. The evening closes with Imagine, the traditional finale bringing the full cast together. Streamed live worldwide on YouTube and UN Web TV, this full concert is a reference document on the state of international jazz in 2026: a live performance where generations, styles and continents meet around a shared repertoire, filmed for a global audience.
