Watched Rehearsals For A Revolution tonight with my family. A dialogue on making documentaries with limited available footage sparked a heated discussion (kids vs parents) on if, and why, the director used AI animation in one chapter. We all agreed it was a pretty superb film.

I think so too, Jerome. RIP Larry Reni Thomas, who interviewed her. The sound of Helen’s voice was one of the reasons that I kept going in the making of I Called Him Morgan.

Very glad to see Lee Morgan getting this NYT treatment. They asked me to contribute with a 150 word blurb re a favorite track. I wrote about the piece of music that had me take on the 8 year journey that became the documentary I Called Him Morgan. nytimes.com/2026/08/05/arts/…

This trumpeter earned the admiration of Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey when he was still a teenager, and balanced virtuosity with accessibility. Hear 11 of his best tracks.

NY Times: 5 Minutes That Will Make You Love Lee Morgan "technically dazzling, melodically direct and fearless in his pursuit of swing. Morgan possessed a rare gift for balancing virtuosity with accessibility." nytimes.com/2026/08/05/arts/…

My DM's don't work, my apologies. Below is Lee Morgan, a jazz trumpeter. If you are so inclined, maybe watch the movie, "I Called Him Morgan" after listening to this song once or twice or 3X. Enjoy:) youtube.com/watch?v=hr8MXT5f…

Pieces Of A Man still gets me every time. Happy birthday Gil Scott-Heron

Happy birthday to one of the greatest. ❤️ This album gets me every time. A genuine emotional roller coaster. (Five years ago Gil Scott-Heron’s estate wanted me to direct a documentary about him. Wherever that project is today I hope and wish a heartfelt doc will be made.)
