Jimmy Rosenberg: The Father, the Son & the Talent (2006)
Outstanding Insight Into Brilliant Musician
His music is fantastic and Jimmy Rosenberg's life is fascinating. Judged by this excellent documentary, one can only admire his loyalty and gratitude to family, his modesty about the unique and towering talent he possesses, his personal charm and humour in the face of his obviously difficult life experiences including drug addiction, and above all his honesty and acceptance of responsibility for his mistakes and the pain he acknowledges having caused to those who love him. This layered documentary, liberally peppered with examples of Jimmy Rosenberg's wonderful musical virtuosity, and only very slightly marred by some confusing flashback techniques, is an outstanding portrayal of a great artist and provides a truly moving insight to his mind and enduring passion for the music he so clearly loves. Do not miss it - in fact, watch it several times!
