Great Stuff
Right before the takeover of the Psychedelic era and that atrocious Discotheque junk, there still was classic Contemporary Jazz, the Original American Art Form. The Music in the film is really great and also catches the end of an era of the Music which really the "Golden Era" of Modern Jazz, post Bop 1949-66, and that of well dressed people smoking, drinking and eating red meat, all those things that are Verboten today.The story line is nothing new though as it follows another Self Destructive Jazz Personality not unlike the Real life stories of Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Lester Young and others..You could even see the almost similar destructiveness played by Dick Gregory a year before in Sweet Love, Bitter where he played doomed saxophonist Eagle..get it..? Bird...Eagle..Kirk Douglas in Young Man With a Horn 16 years earlier, except unlike these two movies, they had to give the 1950 film a Hollywoodian happy ending..it was loosely based upon either Bix Biederbecke or Bunny Berigan..2 Greats of the trumpet largely forgotten now. So enjoy a film that captures the essence of a time when jazz was hot and Cool, the people different, and the Black and White film made images way different. A Classic scene was sammy staggering around town looking in pawn shop windows and encountering a drunk digging through garbage who asks him for 15 cents for the subway..he peels of $50 dollars and says here, but promise me you'll buy wine with it..ha! The music scoring and capturing him walking the streets is great. look for cameos with Mel Torme, Jack E. Leonard and Frank Sinatra's best friend Jilly Rizzo and others..really something.

Pete The Drummer Review
As someone who has been into the music of Bill Evans since the 1970’s I found the film entertaining. It is definitely a movie for Jazz Fans and of particular Bill Evans and his work. I think at least one complete performance to study in the film would have been of immense value. And in particular his brief association with Arranger and Leader Gary McFarland which gave the world an amazing album on Verve. It was an enjoyable film and it was done with the type of quality you should expect much like the music and was a fitting tribute.
