Julie Miller of Vanity Fair calls Keep On Keepin’ On “the best movie you haven’t heard of this year.” The film follows 89-year-old jazz legend and trumpet master, Clark Terry, (Quincy Jones’s first teacher) over four years as he was losing his vision. It documents the unlikely mentorship between Terry and a driven, blind piano prodigy, Justin Kauflin, 23.
Miller notes, “Cliched adjectives like ‘uplifting’ and ‘inspirational’ apply to the film but don’t capture the gorgeous reciprocal mentorship that Terry and Kauflin share, which spans music competitions, Terry’s declining health, and a few hilarious cameos from Quincy Jones (and his ever-present bag of pork rinds) throughout.” Read more here.
