Sound of Redemption: The Frank Morgan Story (2014), directed by NC Heikin, is a poignant documentary that traces the turbulent life and remarkable comeback of jazz saxophonist Frank Morgan. Once hailed as the heir to Charlie Parker, Morgan’s promising career was derailed by heroin addiction, leading to years spent in and out of prisons, including San Quentin. Through archival footage, intimate interviews, and electrifying performance clips, the film paints a vivid portrait of a gifted artist whose talent endured despite personal demons.
