Jimmy Scott: if You Only Knew - Film Screening at WDNA Jazz Gallery

About

Best known for his impossibly high singing voice, enigmatic jazz legend Jimmy Scott has been called “the most unjustly ignored American singer of the 20th century.” This is a personal and meditative portrait of Scott, his odyssey of loss and redemption, and the most intimate document of Scott’s life to date. Feature documentarian Matthew Buzzell has created a piece, which, stylistically and thematically, complements and mirrors Scott’s life and work beautifully.
