Yeah thanks, the justwatch.com is an awesome site. Didn't know it existed.
I'm a white dude that's seen this movie at least 10 times since it came out. I never noticed anything racist about it.
You must of missed the part where Joe lavano was being interviewed in the movie. He is a white saxophonist that recorded for blue note.
Tal Farlow made one album out of the thousands of artists that recorded a blue note album. Stan Getz didn't even make an album for blue note. Bill Evans didnt either. Im guessing you dont know a lot about blue note records artists. Pepper Adams did, but who cares if he wasnt mentioned. The majority of the artists were black that recorded for blue note. Who cares that they didn't mention the white artists. There were a ton of black artists that weren't mentioned either.
The movie never said jazz was only popular in America because of Europeans, immigrants, and jews. That's just straight up false. The movie did say that guys like dexter Gordon and bud Powell, to name a couple, found second life in their careers because of going to Europe and that Europeans loved and respected the musicians and their music. It is a fact. Same goes for black blues musicians at the time.
If you came away from the movie complaining about no white artists being mentioned then that's very moronic to me. You're being transparent and asinine with your ignorance and racism. It's definitely not a stunning reconstrution of history. Thats just plain silly. Please educate yourself on artists that recorded for which labels. The documentary is great. For you to be so focused on the white musicians is ridiculous. You completely lack the knowledge of how important blue note records was for black musicians at the time. Even by putting black artists on the album covers and giving them complete creative control. Take your bull shit somewhere else. Again blue note records was a black artist recorded majority label.
My 3 favorites are :
Donnie Brasco
Dead Man
Then either Ed Wood or Secret Window
Cream : anyone for tennis
