In 1999, on the occasion of the centenary of Ellington's birth, Franco Maresco commissioned Steve Lacy to perform ten songs by the Duke, which were recorded and filmed in Palermo. In 2024, twenty years after Lacy's death and fifty years after that of Ellington, that unpublished material re-emerges from the archive of the great Sicilian director and becomes a documentary.

A heartfelt tribute, ten years after his death, to Franco Scaldati, a project curated by director Franco Maresco, thanks to the collaboration with the Lumpen Association of Palermo.
