THE BEST OF THE BEST: JAZZ FROM DETROIT
Essential documentary
The movie based on the great book by Mark Stryker is now streaming on Prime!
The film moves at a brisk and engaging pace, taking us through the history of the city and the history of the music. The Best of the Best is not just be a must-watch for fans, but also a superb introduction to jazz for the uninitiated. One of the memorable quotes from the documentary comes from great bassist Rodney Whitaker: “We make cars, and we make jazz musicians.”
Looking forward to this- absolutely loved the book. Thanks for the heads up Ethan!
So glad this one got made
