Milt & Honi

About This Movie

Milt & Honi is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two jazz legends—Milt Hinton on bass and Charles "Honi" Coles, a tap dancer. The film has this raw, authentic vibe, mostly thanks to the archival footage and candid interviews. You get to see them in rehearsals, which adds a layer of intimacy, like you're in the studio with them. The juxtaposition of music and dance is really something else, capturing the essence of jazz history in a way that feels very personal. It’s not just about the performances; it’s about the camaraderie and the creative process, making it a unique piece for anyone interested in the roots of jazz and its evolution.

This film seems to fly under the radar, which adds an element of intrigue for collectors. It’s hard to find in standard formats, making any physical copy, especially if it's a good print, quite desirable. The niche appeal lies in its focus on jazz history and the dynamic between two cultural icons, so there’s definitely a growing interest among jazz aficionados who appreciate the behind-the-scenes look at these artists.
