Thank you so much. A few months ago it played locally for one week at one theater but I was swamped at the time unable to get there. I've been looking for this movie ever since.

Thanks for posting this. What a beautiful documentary. It is rare that a story such as this is so complete if you know what I mean. I felt it was very well told. I listen to Lee Morgan almost daily whether it is jazz messengers or one of his albums or as a sideman.

Just started it. What a tragedy, and to hear Morgan in the context of the times, which is hard to do while driving around in 2017, is really special. Art Blakey's advise to him to "tell a story," is so right on for jazz. We worry about what scale goes where, what inversion, etc. It's so secondary to story.
