This movie was planned as a tribute for Joe Zawinul on his 75th birthday. The release date was set for July 07, 2007, but due to the bad health condition of his wife Maxine the shootings of the interviews had to be postponed repeatedly and it couldn't be finished by that date.
On July 26, 2007, Maxine died and on September 11, 2007, Joe Zawinul followed.
