Inspired by a true story, Bars and Measures tells the story of two African American brothers. One a classical pianist, concert performer, educator.  The other a jazz bass player/composer. One a Christian. The other a Muslim. One living in freedom. The other in jail. 

Separated by bars, the brothers try to reconcile their differences through the language they know best. Music!!! A journey through faith, family, melody and time.
