Best known for this impossibly high singing voice, enigmatic jazz legend Jimmy Scott has been called by The New York Times "the most unjustly ignored American singer of the 20th Century". "Jimmy Scott - If You Only Knew" is a personal and meditative portrait of Scott, his odyssey of loss and redemption, and the most intimate document of Scott's life to date. Rare archival photos, moving concert footage, lush travelogue, and extensive interviews intertwine to create a document of Scott's lifelong attempt to overcome exploration, reunite his family, and find closure through his art.
