I recently watched Icons Among Us: Jazz In The Present Tense on DVD and can’t wait to see it again. Discovered some new musicians, and new music by people I haven’t listened to in awhile. I love the ongoing “what is jazz” debate and appreciated the film showing different perspectives without choosing sides. It’s a really cool film with excellent performances by a diverse group of current day musicians. Highly recommended!
