Black History Month Film Festival
'Round Midnight (1986, R, 131 min.) Set in the 1950s New York jazz scene, Dexter Gordon stars as an aging saxman who turns to the bottle to numb the pain of racism, family troubles, and other hardships. A gig in Paris earns him respect and new friendships, but will he take a new lease on life? Herbie Hancock won an Oscar for his stellar score.
This program is offered as part of the library's commemoration of Black History Month. View additional programs in this series.
