Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act Ultimately, Sound of Redemption honors the life of a noted musician, but doesn’t quite make the same impact as its subject or the music he left behind. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review Dmitry Samarov Chicago Reader Framed by a memorial concert at San Quentin, where the noted bebop player was incarcerated for many years, this 2014 documentary by N.C. Heikin lays bare the contradictions of his creative life. Aug 11, 2016 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety The late jazz great is honored with a terrific tribute concert and a respectful documentary. Dec 18, 2015 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto If you're into jazz, give it a look. Rated: 3/5 Jul 13, 2016 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Strong evocation of the lesser-known bebop jazz scene in segregated L.A., and within San Quentin Prison and emphasis on his prodigious musical talent, make this film cool. Rated: 8/10 Jan 8, 2016 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight [A] bittersweet ode to a phoenix who kept singeing his own wings. Sep 25, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
