I will certainly catch this one. One of my all-time fav actors portraying my all-time fav jazz person. Nice.

You can go to youtube and see the 1959 TV footage with Miles Davis and Gil Evans after you watch this tease footage of this new "film" and see just how awful this looks. Have we all been so beaten down by bad biography on film that this looks good to some people? Miles was all about the persona, his public image was closely guarded.Sorry folks,this looks like a soft drink commercial. Time to start boycotting crap like this,it might be the only way people will learn....?

Thanks for the heads up on this movie, I'll be looking forward to seeing it, even if it is not completely historically correct. It will be a nice reminder of my youth when jazz was in the popular mainstream.
