A Man and His Trumpet: The Leroy Jones Story

In a city full of brilliant musicians, Leroy Jones, trumpet virtuoso and consummate New Orleanian, is a musician’s musician with a sound like no other. Jones came up playing on the streets of the 7th ward and French Quarter, quickly establishing himself as one of NOLA’s most sought-after trumpeters, playing with the best of the best, and touring with the Harry Connick Jr. and His Orchestra for 17 years. A decade after the storm that nearly destroyed his beloved city, Jones is navigating life as both a world-renowned musician and a citizen amidst a rapidly changing New Orleans. (Orlando Film Festival)
