Ebertfest 2014, Day Five

I would feel better about Bayou Maharajah if I had not seen this story before.  Talented jazz musician imbibes and dies young.  The story might be lacking but the music is rewarding.  Watch this documentary for the music.  In the case of this festival, we were rewarded with a bonus performance by the great Henry Butler following the film.  I have not seen many live piano performances, so I was truly wowed by this virtuoso.  A real treat for those who stayed till the end of the festival.
