On a snowy night in February 1972, celebrated jazz musician Lee Morgan was shot dead by his common-law wife Helen during a gig at a club in New York City. The murder sent shockwaves through the jazz community, and the memory of the event still haunts those who knew the Morgans. This feature documentary is a love letter to two unique personalities and the music that brought them together. A film about love, jazz and America. (Venice International Film Festival)

A documentary that revisits an event that influenced the jazz world and about which the uninitiated may know nothing. I didn't know, anyway. Even after more than forty years, the memories have not cooled, and the speakers present a tragic story of a gifted man who was only 33 years old. It sucks when a loving wife pulls the trigger.
