On the occasion of JAZZMI, Exalge hosts an evening dedicated to the icon Lee Morgan, featuring a screening of the documentary “I Called Him Morgan” by Kasper Collin. The event aims to rediscover the life and music of one of the greatest figures in jazz history through cinema, the testimony of his wife Helen, and stories from friends and fellow musicians who shared a chapter of American jazz history with him. More than a simple screening, the evening is designed as an informal moment of listening and sharing: before and after the film, Lee Morgan’s music will play in the background, accompanying casual banter, drinks, and a convivial atmosphere. It is an invitation to experience his music not through an academic lens, but as something lively, human, and collective.
