Last night I streamed this movie, Chops, on Netflix, and I'll have to say that I was hooked the whole way through. If you are a music teacher, a Duke Ellington fan, or just like to root for the underdog, you will enjoy this documentary about a group of high school kids from Florida who compete in a national competition for high school jazz bands called Essentially Ellington in NYC.
I loved how the students worked so hard on getting to the true essence and spirit of jazz in general and Ellington in particular. I loved how these kids became a family through music. This movie gives me hope about the youth of America.
