Tiny & Ruby: Hell Divin’ Women
Profiling legendary jazz trumpeter Tiny Davis and her partner of over 40 years, drummer-pianist Ruby Lucas, “Tiny & Ruby: Hell Divin’ Women” weaves together rare jazz recordings, live performances, vintage photographs, and narrative poetry by Cheryl Clarke.
The film documents Tiny Davis’ contribution to jazz history in an informal, intimate style in which the 78-year-old demonstrates that her chops and humor were both quite intact for the filming of this treasure trove of stories, sounds and images.
