Full Plot Details

First-time director/drummer from Australia, Alan Hicks, convinced his surfing mate and cinematographer, Adam Hart, to travel to the U.S. to follow and film 89-year-old jazz legend, Clark Terry (Quincy Jones's first teacher) over four years - to document an unlikely mentorship between Terry and a driven, blind piano prodigy, Justin Kauflin, 23. Clark, now 93, mentored Miles Davis as a young musician and is among the few performers ever to have played in both Count Basie's and Duke Ellington's bands. In Keep On Keepin' On, as Justin is invited to compete in an elite, international competition while battling terrible stage fright, Clark's health takes a critical turn for the worse. Over the course of filming, Clark loses his sight, which deepens his bond with Justin. As clocks tick, we are suddenly witness to two great friends tackling the toughest challenges of their interwoven lives. The film, from the producer of The Cove and Chasing Ice, captures the passing of the torch from a cultural icon to potentially his last student, inspiring viewers in climactic, cinematic fashion.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David LewisOne need not be a jazz aficionado to enjoy this film. All that’s required is a smile.
Movie Habit - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinOne of the year's most affecting documentaries
FILMINK (Australia) - 9/10 by Eamon OLoughlinThere's no need to be a jazz aficionado to enjoy this story, as the film is not just a description of music icon but a rare chance at seeing, in reality, both the beginning and the end of a highly unlikely dream.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrAs the title implies, though, Keep on Keepin’ On has more on its mind. The film’s as much about the young Kauflin’s struggles — as a 21st-century Asian-American naïf trying to succeed in a 20th-century art form created by African-Americans, as a blind man navigating the often callous New York jazz scene. It’s also about the ongoing health of jazz itself as the music recedes further from the mainstream into the protective world of festivals and small clubs.
Philadelphia Daily News - 9/10 by Jonathan TakiffYou don't have to be a jazz-head to be drawn in and empathize with the documentary "Keep on Keepin' On."
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanThe only danger with a movie like this is the inevitably disappointing return to more humdrum reality once it ends.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Linda BarnardAs joyful as a jumping jazz riff, Keep on Keepin' On is an inspiring story of devotion, dedication and multi-generational friendship.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerSince music is so much more than music between these two, their filmed sessions resemble not so much rehearsals as communions.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by David RooneyKeep On Keepin' On is both tender and joyous, a moving account of the mutual nourishment of artistic mentorship and the rewards of accentuating the positive in whatever life throws at you.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Alan ScherstuhlIt's part Live at Birdland, part Boy in the Plastic Bubble, all warmly thrilling.
