Lee's 1990 outing is laden with the jazz sounds that influenced the director growing up with a musician father Bill Lee, who composed the score for this and three earlier Lee films.
Denzel Washington lays on the charm as trumpet-playing bandleader Bleek Gilliam ("You gotta be a musician or a criminal with a name like that; just ain't no accountants called Bleek") despite creative tensions with his sax player Shadow Henderson (Wesley Snipes) and the two lady loves in his complicated personal life. Imported print.
