Jackie McLean, a bebop legend, is captured teaching at Hartford’s modest jazz department. The half‑hour documentary shows him rehearsing at home, jamming briefly with his quintet, and delivering stream‑of‑consciousness lectures that wander from Sun Ra to JFK’s assassination and his approach to “Giant Steps.” The students strain to follow, offering an intimate, candid glimpse into the mind of a true jazz master.
