Movie "Crazy" life story of Hank Garland

just checked this out from the library after a friend turned me onto Hank Garland, Nashville session player from the late 50's turned jazz player. His music & this movie most recommended!

The man left quite a mark on American music of the time. I listen to that solo album (with a young Gary Burton and Joe Morello) a good bit. Usually I love musical biopics, even the really cheesy ones (there are many of those), but for some reason this one didn't click with me. As they say, YMMV.
