I wonder why a sample of the historical, artistic and musical dilemnas wasn’t fully exposed, to truly give the audience the opportunity to really grasp what it takes to make certain choices, from story and pictures telling, to musical moods?
Not everybody has flirted with the challenges of making creative choices, even in less artistic disciplines, and it is always enlightening to discover how creators think!

In the 2nd half, we were moved by thoughtful, swinging and soulful solos of Vincent Gardner trombone, Victor Goines “in the groove” clarinet, Sherman Irby nice and surprising alto sound, Eric Lewis sensitive piano touch and “out of this world” chords (or where they from Mr. Marsalis sophisticated feather touch?), and the Maestro himself, giving full life to his own compositions.
The gusty life of Jack Johnson appeared with the whole spectrum of human emotions, so well rendered by all involved.
A+ TREAT ! I can’t wait to see the documentary in its entirety.
Thank you Mr. Burns.
