MO’ BETTER BLUES

Join us for four weeks of films featuring jazz as part of the 2021 Within/Earshot Jazz Festival.

FEATURED FILM – MO’ BETTER BLUES
1999 | 2h10m | R

Denzel Washington stars as fictional jazz trumpeter Bleek Gilliam in this Spike Lee film centering on the rivalry between Gilliam and saxophonist Shadow Henderson (played by Wesley Snipes).

Bleek Gilliam is a talented and self-centred jazz trumpeteer, whose single-minded concentration on his music leaves many, especially the women in his life, scrambling for his attention. Bleek forms his own band The Bleek Gilliam Quartet, and a rivalry emerges with bandmate Shadow that threatens to tear apart the quartet.
