Quick recommendation in this vein:
Sundance is running a documentary called "Saving Jazz."
SAVING JAZZ
Director - Leslie Woodhead
Since the 1940s, photographer Herman Leonard has created the definitive visual history of jazz, with classic images of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday and hundreds of other music icons. However, when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Leonard’s studio, darkroom and part of his photographic archive were badly damaged by eight feet of water. This documentary by Leslie Woodhead follows the 82-year-old photographer on his painful return home and his efforts to rebuild his life’s work. With Wynton Marsalis, Tony Bennett and others.
(2006) Color (58 mins)
TUESDAY MAR 4 7PM | WEDNESDAY MAR 5 12:15AM | MONDAY MAR 17 1PM | WEDNESDAY MAR 26 10AM
If you're a fan of jazz, you've seen this guy's work. Absolutely iconic images. Check it out.
