There's no denying the film is unpolished, but it has an earthy soul.

Top CriticForget West 47th Street -- and the only Jazz in Lindsey Christian's dull indie soap opera is an aspiring funk singer by that name who lives in a diamond-shaped part of the District of Columbia.

Top CriticSome dreams will be realized, some dashed, but audiences, having been dragged through this story too many times, won’t care which.

Top CriticJazz is just another reefer-ridden, albeit earnest, tale of love, loss and evil New Yorkers taking advantage.
