As the noted jazz historian Stanley Crouch so aptly puts it, "when saxophonist Dewey Redman plays, smoke and flames shoot out of his bell". Daniel Berman's often tender film examines a highly respected, musically versatile and uniquely imaginative improviser, who has influenced a legion of today's most well regarded musicians. While his classic recordings with Ornette Coleman, his membership in the venerable Keith Jarrett Quartet, and his famous son Joshua Redman may have helped to put Dewey on the jazz map, it's the sound of his horn and the magnetism of his character which keeps jazz fans coming back to his music. This is Dewey's story, from the jukejoints of Fort Worth to the walk-ups of Brooklyn, from free-jazz to sweet melody, from struggle to redemption: Dewey Redman an American Jazz Life
