Side Man

A son picks up the pieces of the shattered dreams of his jazz-musician father in this Tony Award-winning drama. SIDE MAN looks back at the side men of the jazz era ? the proud, dues-paying musicians who lived in the shadows of the era’s more glamorous personalities. In remembered moments both haunting and hilarious, a son recalls the stunning talent of his brilliant but inattentive father, and the disintegration of his mother, in this richly human portrayal of these forgotten musicians. -KW
