The Harlem Cultural Festival of that year, which would come to be known as “Black Woodstock,” had, on its surface, little in common with the upstate hootenanny. Held in Harlem at Mount Morris (what is now Marcus Garvey) Park, it was a self-consciously urban affair, a concert series rather than a one-off, and already in its third year.

Three performances from Prince at the 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival

Le plus important rassemblement de la musique pop de ces vingt dernières années. Des groupes qui ont marqué leur époque et une jeunesse qui a marqué la sienne. Un regard intime sur le Woodstock Music & Art Festival qui s'est tenu à Bethel, New York en 1969, de la préparation aux nettoyages, avec un accès historique aux initiés, des images de concerts époustouflantes et des portraits des spectateurs ; des aspects négatifs et positifs sont montrés: depuis la consommation de drogue par les artistes jusqu'aux fans nus glissant dans la boue, de l'effondrement des clôtures par des hordes inattendues jusqu'à l'arrivée surréaliste d'hélicoptères de la Garde nationale avec de la nourriture et une assistance médicale pour la ville impromptue de 500 000 habitants.

Patrick Savey nous plonge dans le monde de Marcus Miller, traversant le décor des racines new-yorkaise du légendaire bassiste, suivant sa piste comme les cailloux du Petit Poucet, au gré de ses rencontres artistiques avec les plus grands du jazz, de Larry Graham et Jaco Pastorius à David Sanborn, Herbie Hancock, Al Jarreau et Miles Davis, un fantastique voyage musical et visuel. Remontant l'histoire de ce musicien d'exception, multi-instrumentiste, compositeur, producteur, ce film nous fait revivre, à travers témoignages et extraits de concerts, trois décennies de révolution du jazz dans lesquelles Marcus Miller a pris, avec exigence et générosité, sa large part. Avec surtout une remarquable humanité, une connaissance et une rare appropriation de l'histoire de la musique afro-américaine, du gospel de son enfance au funk-orchestral de son dernier album Afrodeezia.

Solid Gold was an American syndicated music television series that debuted on September 13, 1980. Like many other shows of its genre, such as American Bandstand, Solid Gold featured musical performances and various other elements such as music videos. What set Solid Gold apart was a group of dancers in revealing costumes who at various points in the program performed various dances to the top ten hits of the week. Many other specials aired in which the dancers would dance to older pop hits as well. Reviews of the show were not always positive, with The New York Times referring to it as "the pop music show that is its own parody...[enacting] mini-dramas...of covetousness, lust and aerobic toning--routines that typically have a minimal connection with the songs that back them up." The series ran until July 23, 1988, and it was usually transmitted on Saturdays in the early evening. In 1986, Solid Gold added the current year to its title, so in the seventh season the show was known as Solid Gold '86/'87. For the eighth and last season the program became known as Solid Gold In Concert, reflecting the addition of more live performances than had previously been featured on the program in the past.

Don Kirshner's Rock Concert is an American television music variety show that ran during the 1970s and early 1980s, created and produced by Don Kirshner and syndicated to television stations. It premiered on September 27, 1973, with a performance by The Rolling Stones; its last episode was in 1981.

Today is a daily American morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952. It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest running American television series. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays in 1987 and Saturdays in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007. Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television Shows of All Time.
