Jazz Dreams

Jazz Dreams follows the lives of three young jazz musicians from New Orleans as they begin their careers: Jason Marsalis, the youngest member of the famed Marsalis family, Irvin Mayfield, an ambitious and highly gifted trumpet player and composer, and Courtney Bryan, a shy but extraordinarily talented pianist and composer. The film explores how devotion to an art form is tested over time by the realities of life and making a living. This, the first version, follows their lives for a five year period as they enter young adulthood.
