“A fond and forgiving tribute to the man, filled with music that moves . . . toward something like brilliance.” (New York Times)  The young Frank Morgan was a saxophone phenom—a protégé of Charlie “Bird” Parker who played as a teenager with the likes of Dexter Gordon and Billie Holiday. But, like Bird, he was also a heroin addict, and to feed his habit he forged checks, ripped off johns, even robbed banks, landing him in San Quentin and other prisons over some 30 years. Sound of Redemption finds Morgan back at the top of his game, having put his dark days behind him to become a mentor and an esteemed elder statesman of jazz. His legacy is on full display in this “hurtin’ beauty of a doc.” (Village Voice)
