Jasmine "Jazz" Morgan longs to become a successful jazz singer, though her terminally ill mother, Willow, implores her to stay in school and not rush a career behind the microphone. Defying her doctor father to spend an entire summer immersed in the D.C. music scene, young Jasmine navigates her strange new world with a little help from her manager, Gabe, and shady MC Flight, a local sensation who's seen it all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
There's no denying the film is unpolished, but it has an earthy soul.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Forget 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.
-
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Some dreams will be realized, some dashed, but audiences, having been dragged through this story too many times, wonâ(TM)t care which.
-
Anna King, Time Out New York
Jazz is just another reefer-ridden, albeit earnest, tale of love, loss and evil New Yorkers taking advantage.
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
The music, with its infectious energy, together with Ms. Cameron's onstage charisma makes Jazz in the Diamond District well worth seeing.
