Brothers in Music -- Film Description:
"Christene Browne's Brothers In Music starts from an ideal premise for exploring the aesthetic and political dynamics of jazz. Two Toronto musicians, one Black, one white, have played together for years, but approach music from two distinct positions. What holds John T. Davis and Jim Heineman together, besides the love of jazz, is the belief that the image of Black and white musicians dedicated to playing African-American music together is as strong a political statement as they need to make."
