A TUBA TO CUBA
Watchable. What it's about isn't clear but it's attractive. A random assembly of professionally shot, colourful views of New Orleans and Cuba, wonderful tap dancing sound effects, conga music, jazz and comments by musicians. Kind of a tribute to instrumentalists paying tribute to their African ancestors and one particular musician's family heritage story. The documentary assumes you have background knowledge of New Orleans jazz and that you can recognize urban shots from both regions - I couldn't, only the language would sometimes indicate to me whether it's Cuba or the south of the US. Pleasant but haywire.
Reviewed online, cinematic reception might differ.
