[this is PtPP]
Anita and I just watched the movie Whiplash last night, and really enjoyed it!
I played trombone in a college big band for four years at McMaster University [where I was the only non-music student in the band] and it was always a ton of fun. The movie brought back lots of great memories, but thankfully my band director was never as abusive as JK Simmons' character. Although, you have to imagine, that with the likes of me in his band, I would have been the butt of more than a few of his jokes....
We would definitely recommend this movie as a "must watch" if you are a jazz fan. Simmons' winning of an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is well deserved.
Four thumbs up in Montreal.
Cheers, eh?
Pete [and Anita]

Jaybro, if you haven't seen "The Wrecking Crew", check it out on Netflix. Not jazz, but a doc on real musicians that you'd enjoy 100%.
