There are millions of musicians in the world - but there s only one Leroy Jones. The film follows the historic life journey of the famed trumpeter and legend as he comes up in the projects of the 7th ward in New Orleans.
By the time he was 12 years old, Leroy s talent was apparent and his devotion to both his city and his craft never wavered. A young Jones leads the brass band revival of the 70 s in NOLA leading to the creation of the Fairview Baptist Church Band, and the Hurricane Brass Band. Leroy s trumpet then catches the ear of Harry Connick Jr., launching him from hometown virtuoso to world renowned phenomenon as he plays alongside Connick, as the featured solo trumpeter for 25 years.
