Pure and Simple
This will be a half-hour documentary on a saxophonist who has maintained the cultural continuity of “The Music” through his devotion to Charlie Parker, one of the most important jazz musicians in history, and to “old school” jazz, while becoming a legend in his own right.
Shot during a time span of over sixteen years, this project will offer an intimate window on the arc of a musician’s career and of a music genre.
