James Morrison: Life and music of the jazz musician, with Don Burrows, Ken Done, Dizzy Gillespie

This film taps into Morrison’s dynamic energy and boundless creativity and features him in concert in Australia, with his mentor Don Burrows; at the Montreux Jazz festival; and in a creative improvisation session with the Australian artist Ken Done. Done develops a canvas in response to Morrison’s performance and Morrison, in turn, responds to the painter at work. The highlight of the program is footage of Morrison rehearsing and performing with the World Superband, in New York.

James Morrison is the hottest jazz musician fi-om Australia to emerge onto the
international scene. A superbly talented multi-instrumentalist, he has no peers on jazz
trumpet, trombone or euphonium and his US. debut, at the Village Vanguard in New York, prompted veteran jazz writer Leonard Feather to rate him as “a sure bet for jazz superstardom.”
Colleagues and jazz peers, such as Dizzy Gillespie, discuss his unique blend of technique, confidence and charisma. In spite of so much international acclaim, Morrison remains firmly based in Australia and pays tribute to his family and the church as providing the underlying soul and gospel feel to his high-energy jazz.

What a great and beautiful story. It complements his book ‘James Morrison blowing my trumpet’ published in 2006 so clearly showing his love for Don Burrows and all his contemporaries. I have saved this to watch over and over. Thank you James Morrison.
