Description:
Bayou Maharajah chronicles the life and music of James Booker, the acclaimed New Orleans pianist whom Dr. John called "the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced." A remarkably gifted musician, Booker's unique personality and stage presence hid a life marked by hardship, discrimination, and loneliness. Using previously unseen concert footage, rare photographs, and exclusive interviews, the film presents a portrait of this often-overlooked musical icon.
