Clint Eastwood brings a lifelong love of jazz to this gripping story of pioneering saxophonist Charlie ‘Yardbird’ Parker, winning a Best Director Golden Globe Award. Forest Whitaker stars in this compassionate biopic exploring Bird’s soaring skill and destructive excesses, and paints a vivid portrait of the jazz world in all its complexity.
