Actually those who have posted the Blues here are aberrant--this is titled "Jazz/ Big Band..." and other stuff. It's become by extension inclusive of the Blues. I tried to post the movie but it's "R" rated and YouTube puts you through changes to get to it. I agree it was a superior production, well worth anybody's time. Forrest Whitaker as Bird just kills...The meticulous sound-recording won awards. Not least, this film caused a bunch of unreleased CP material to be freed from a bank vault by his common-law widow. Mercy, has it really been 25 years since this came out?
