A documentary on Ira Gitler named Ira Gitler Lives! is now available to watch on the Jazz Video Guy YouTube channel. Gitler, who passed away on February 23, 2019, was a writer, broadcaster, and teacher, and also produced recording sessions and concerts. This new 30-minute documentary by filmmaker Bret Primack showcases Gitler’s life in jazz.
