From interviews with family members, still photographs, and voice-over narration emerges an understanding of the relationship between family and artistic production, place, and sound. An attempt is made to locate these familial traditions within the larger structure of jazz and African-American cultural traditions *** Produced by Jason Berry and Jonathan Foose
