Not familiar with Frank Morgan? He was Charlie Parker’s protégé and played with Billie Holiday. His father always said that Frank was “the best sax player in the world. But…” That “but” concealed a multitude of sins: bank robbery, larceny, forgery and burglary. Instead of a career, he had a habit. This music documentary includes a high-power tribute concert, fascinating insights into jazz and race in the 50s, musical lore, and interviews with Gary Giddins, Michael Connelly, Ron Carter, Clora Bryant and Delfeayo Marsalis.
