Europafest: Jazz Highlights travels not to a musical event christened 'Europafest' (as might be expected from the title), but to the Days of Jazz festival in Stuttgart, Germany, where jazz musicians who hail from a host of backgrounds and musical subgenres perform before festival audiences. Represented here are the free jazz/avant garde jazz strains of the late Sun-Ra; the post-bop/contemporary jazz of the late Michel Petrucciani; the hard bop of Archie Shepp; and much more. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
