It's truly an act of blasphemy that this piece wasn't included on the soundtrack. It just hits you in your soul.

Takes me back to my coming of age, discovering jazz, growing my dreads and performing spoken word at nuyorican cafe in NY. Good times

Classic Bill Lee score. The whole family is talented.

[@rodneywashington51]

Love Bill Lee's musical score for the film!

[@IJ_RogersTV]

rodneywashington51 you remember the scene where Indigo asks Bleek what would he do if he couldn’t play anymore? What song is that in the background of that scene?

[@jazmineworthy2311]

Chills!!!

[@siyezzyyoung8046]

Classic All The Way Around This Movie Go Inn And Beyond.....

[@davidcollins5221]

A great intro to a great move. I love the music and the cinematography to this film.

[@thareel]

I've loved Bill Lee's music since first hearing it and I wish I had his entire collection of work. It's very inspirational and soul-catching. He should be recognized as a True Treasure of the musical community.

[@Justmyopinion221]

I’m right there with you Mr Smith. This is simply superb👍🏾

[@thareel]

Hi, @@Justmyopinion221, do you have other artist's music in mind, that are hidden gems, you can share with me? I love finding great music from new or old artist.

[@olskool2977]

I love this quartet. my dad use to get tired of watching this when I was at his house, but it always seemed to calm my mind as a child and the horns are a plus. magnificent piece. Thanks for putting this up.

[@jonathanblack99]

QUINTET

[@datboyphil]

This is my ringtone haha

[@almendareze6465]

How did you make it your ringtone?

[@melozed_]

ahhh. perfection

[@Discipline2-q6g]

Phenomenal. Much Respect

[@kcblack3621]

This is an amazing arrangement

[@nikkihearn5153]

Still looking for this piece if anyone knows where to find it. It’s pure poetry…💙🎶

[@kidneymcsecrets8402]

@DJ This; the film's opening score (which, sadly was NOT included in the OST release) and Harlem Blues the "Acapulco" version are my two favourites from the film, and of my favourites from the entire 1990's. In 1990, I was robust barrel chested ice hockey player, and I can remember fighting back the tears, during the opening credits so my date wouldn't see me. It's still one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard. Bill Lee conducting the Natural Spiritual Orchestra would be my guess. NSO had me hooked after School Daze with the end theme "We Already Left" Thanks for posting this

[@DJLMovieGuy]

You're Welcome!!

[@JJRichardson_]

Appreciate the comment OG

[@Justmyopinion221]

😢😢😢😭😭😭 I’m right there with you

[@LadyJay114]

Thanks for putting this up. There's another beautiful piece that wasn't included in the soundtrack either (the music when Bleek is maintaining his trumpet in the beginning)

[@remodelingjob]

Such a beautiful arrangement

[@straightnochaser52]

neck and neck with He Got Game................my favorite spike lee joint!

[@eliteiamfly]

Thank you 🙏. Too bad spike Lee didn’t have the decency to include this in the soundtrack in respects to his dad. This is my wedding song 🎉

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Although I regret that I've never seen the movie, I love the music from the movie. I love the score.

[@Justmyopinion221]

DJLMovieGuy No, Thank You

[@Unitedartists56]

Thank.you man I remember first watching this movie back when I was 12 and this opening was the first I've heard of jazz cause afterward listening to it I asked my father what genre was this cause there were no racy rhyming lyrics it was just pure music

[@DJLMovieGuy]

You're welcome!!!

[@zealousjay1993]

memories like krazy

[@AlmarineTheRedeemed9]

This is another wonderful movie DJLMovieGuy. I Love "Mo Better Blues." Great to see all of the scenes from the movie. Thanks DJL! I love this so much. Good job!

[@DJLMovieGuy]

Thank you very much Almarine for the support! This is one my favorite movies of all time as well! Denzel, Wesley, Spike, Robin Harris, John Turturro, Charlie Murphy, Cynda Williams, Samuel L. Jackson all did a great job in that film! Bill Lee's music score was on point in this movie! Gotta love it!

[@AlmarineTheRedeemed9]

I was trying to think of Robin Harris name. He is so funny. This is a classic movie that I love. Peace Donnelle!

[@DJLMovieGuy]

AlmarineTheRedeemed9 His name was Butter Bean in the movie! Peace to you too Almarine :-)

[@AlmarineTheRedeemed9]

Thanks DLJ! LOL! Yeah that is it. Cool!

[@DJLMovieGuy]

AlmarineTheRedeemed9 AWESOME!

[@aldenburno5123]

I've been looking for Bill Lee's rendition since the '90s is it for sale anywhere? If there is a heaven I imagine this what the angels are playing as you walk in.

[@AlmarineTheRedeemed9]

You look very nice too at the end in your cool outfit DJL.

[@carloskea5855]

When ever I'm down I listen to this song, it symbolizes a journey. I know God ain't done with me yet.

Spike lees an asshole for not including this in the soundtrack and why I would never buy it.
