Young Man With A Horn


50s Drama
3.5 stars

This film touched me as a jazz lover, a non-musician and a film fan. I'm not saying this is the greatest film, but the scenes where the young boy hears the music and is able to feel it, thereby cementing his destiny, reminds me of what I felt like during the time I filmed the organists for First Gravy and heard Bob Birch with the New Mastersounds, or Nick Rossi plugging away at Club Deluxe in San Francisco. This film is about 80% great and the rest not so much.
