Spike Lee`s father, jazz bassist Bill Lee, has been among the most distinguished, least heralded composers in jazz since the late 1950s. Of the many fine soundtracks he has scored for his son`s movies, MO` BETTER BLUES may just be the closest to his heart, with a jazz quintet as the dramatic focus of the film.
Branford Marsalis` working band, augmented by the superb trumpeter Terence Blanchard, provides the solo voices for the protagonists played by Wesley Snipes and Denzel Washington. Marsalis also collaborates with Spike Lee on a clever jazz/rap commentary, "Pop Top 40."
