  Rare documentaries of two of the most extraordinary figures in jazz clarinetist Pee Wee Russell and jazz tap extraordinaire Baby Laurence. The first focuses on Pee Wee Russell in the act of painting reminiscing on his life in Oklahoma the early music scene from Chicago to New York and his drinking acquaintance with painter Jackson Pollock. 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.
