Russell's breathtaking music provides the soundtrack for this unique portrait of the clarinetist. The second showcases the life and work of the indistputable king of jazz tap Baby Laurence. Unusual clips of Charlie Parker and Art Tatum illustrate the music that inspired the one-of-a-kind tap-dancing legend.
