I didn't know much about Annie Ross as a jazz singer but as an actress. The documentary covers her life especially fourteen years with her aunt Ella Logan in Los Angeles and separated from her parents and siblings. Annie is very blunt and talks about her relationships including with her son, Kenny Clarke Jr, who was raised in Pittsburgh by his paternal uncle and aunt. Annie was ahead of her time. She had romances with Kenny Clarke, an African American jazz musician and comedian Lenny Bruce. She battled a drug addiction. She had been awarded the NEA jazz master's award. Sadly she passed away last year.
