'Tis Autumn: The Search for Jackie Paris (2006)

Laemmle's Grande 4-plex, downtown Los Angeles, Calif.

I had seen Peter Bogdanovich’s name attached to the film as what I assumed would be an interviewee, but in fact he was just there to read some old jazz reviews. Still it was interesting, devestating and depressing. especially when we suddenly meet the late singer’s drugged-out, desert-dwelling and long lost son. A portrait of failure (which is an interesting subject for a portrait).


Charlie Parker and Jackie Paris.
