Jazz History: Brotherly Jazz

The brilliant careers of Philadelphia's Heath Brothers are traced in Brotherly Jazz, an absorbing new documentary. Produced by Danny Scher and directed by Jesse Block, the film features extensive concert footage of the Heaths as well as new interviews with an array of friends and fellow musicians; fascinating archival material about the Heaths' family life and early professional activities; and rarely seen footage of Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and other bebop figures.
