This movies is loosely based on Lester Young and Bud Powell. It may be slow for some but to see Dex made it all worth while for me.

Dexter Gordon owns this film, both musically and emotionally. Still makes me cry since I first saw it (in Paris!) back in 1986. Herbie Hancock's musical score is fantastic. Lonette McKee's contribution of How Long Has This Been Going On is beautiful. Highly recommend this film to jazz lovers.

The music written by Herbie Hancock is definitely the star of this movie. The story is pretty tawdry, slow moving and the main lead, who is a star in his own right in the Jazz world is fairly hard to take after awhile, due to his obvious alcoholic past life affecting his speech and movements (which is a shame considering his obvious greatness as a musician). I know some Jazz muscians who loved this movie, but for the rest of us, you'd probably do better buying the CD for the music, than watching this DVD.
