Jennifer Leitham in I Stand Corrected (2012)

Watch Jennifer Leitham perform and itÂ’s instantly obvious the tall striking redhead is an original. This world-famous jazz bassist plays her instrument left handed (something virtually unheard of in the profession) and when she takes center-stage Â– standing to play rather than sitting Â– her entire body seems to dance with the bass as her mane of long, fiery hair whips and bobs to the blistering pace set by her fingers. She is a special talent made all the more unique because Jennifer Leitham began her life and career when she was known as John Leitham.

I STAND CORRECTED, a compelling documentary from filmmaker Andrea Meyerson, charts LeithamÂ’s extraordinary rise to the top as a virtuoso of the upright bass and reveals how she risked it all with her decision to undergo sexual correction surgery. An intimate and compassionate study of LeithamÂ’s life, the film explores the self-doubts and fears she wrestled with as she rose through the ranks of an often homophobic jazz world, and celebrates the joy she discovered after embracing her female identity.

Weaving together Â“before and afterÂ” stills and footage, I STAND CORRECTED incorporates candid interviews with Leitham and several other jazz luminaries such as Â“Tonight ShowÂ” band leader Doc Severinsen and drummer Ed Shaughnessy, along with a broad variety of entertainers and friends of LeithamÂ’s including Roy McCurdy, Denny Tedesco, Sweet Baby JÂ’ai, Gary Chen, talent agent Dale Sheets and jazz entrepreneur Todd Barkin among others.
