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 establishes an informal, intimate style in which
78-year-old Tiny demonstrates that her chops and humor are
both quite intact.
