The Yardbird
Though this is a long film, it's a remarkable account of the troubled life of the legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker (Forest Whitaker).
Diane Venora plays Parker's common-law wife and mother of his children; Michael Zelniker plays bandleader Red Rodney, Samuel E. Wright plays Dizzy Gillespie, Keith David plays musician Buster Franklin.
Directed by Clint Eastwood.
Run time: 2 hours, 41 minutes
Rated R.
My personal rating: B-
