**BRIEF PLOT**
Leon, (played by Jean Reno) is a mild mannered French man living in New York City's 'little Italy'.

DVD Description
The New Grass Revival took bluegrass music and infused it with gospel, reggae, rock, and modern jazz to take their traditional sound to a whole new level. Famed session musician Leon Russell collaborated with the band in the late 1970s to help them reach new heights of innovation. This program finds these two key proponents of American roots music performing live at the Perkins Palace in California on May 15th, 1980.
