Roger Humphries: Pass It On (2013)

Roger Humphries: Pass It On is a one hour, broadcast-formatted documentary about a jazz drummer who after years of touring with Ray Charles, Horace Silver Song For My Father, and other national artists returned home to Pittsburgh to (most importantly) raise a family, complete almost 30 years of teaching and mentoring at CAPA, and to propel the professional careers of numerous musicians-three of whom are now touring internationally. Pass It On is the telling of a story, seamlessly meshing music and message, the symmetry of art and community, poignant interviews, and original music with live performances, to tell of a devotion to the integrity of music and of life, to an enduring tradition and a rich music history for which Pittsburgh is renowned.
