"My brother, Phil, passed away on a Sunday… And shortly afterwards, my mother had the inspiration of honoring him with jazz music." This is one of those lovely short films that fills your heart to the brim with goodness and happiness. Which might be what we all need right now. Sundays at The Triple Nickel is a documentary short about a woman named Marjorie Eliot, who has hosted a weekly Sunday jazz party in her living room, in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem, for the past 28 years. This weekly concert is open to the community and anyone who wants to attend (info listed at the end). The film is a grainy, heartfelt tribute to Marjorie and her jazz party, taking us on an enchanting journey into her world and her home. It's more than just a simple music short, there's so much charm and cheer in this. And some great music, of course. Enjoy.
