Ear Candy
The songs are as much a “character” in A NOTE OF HOPE as the musicians the film follows. John Blake, Jr.’s jazz arrangements of these traditional spirituals are so much fun that we never tire of listening to them–which is a huge plus when you are working on a long-form documentary! This picture was taken at the May, 2009 benefit concert from which the film takes its name.
