LOGLINE
This acclaimed, award-winning music documentary reveals Thomas Chapin in depth, placing him in jazz history and assuring he won’t be forgotten. Destined to be among the great virtuosos of jazz, Chapin, an alto sax and flute master, was nearing the pinnacle of his meteoric rise when leukemia took him at the age of 40 in 1998. He left his mark on jazz n the '80s and '90s, pushing the music and bending genres. Just as he transcended the boundaries of jazz and sound, Chapin would  prove that life itself is to be transcended even if it had to end too soon.
