Following the screening, MC Eric Jackson, host of WGBH Eric in the Evening, will moderate a conversation with director NC Heikin and saxophonist Grace Kelly, which will be followed by a performance by Kelly and bassist Bruce Gertz. 

Frank Morgan was a prodigal alto sax player who, like so many of his fellow musicians of the era, saw his career plagued by drug addiction. What sets Frank apart is not just his exceptional talent, but also the amazing fact that he survived 30 years of revolving door incarceration and drug abuse and went on to a much heralded comeback career in the last 22 years of his life, during which time he served as a mentor to Brookline saxophone prodigy Grace Kelly. Morgan’s story is one of brilliant promise in his youth, a journey through the depths of hell, and redemption through his art.
