   the only musician depicted in the 1958 photo whose autograph his father   
   hadn’t gotten before he died, but ends up stranded in a Kennedy Airport   
   terminal when he is denied entrance to the U.S. Mr. Golson appears as   
   himself when the Hanks character finally gets to New York and tracks him   
   down at a nightclub.   
      
   As a senior statesman of jazz, Mr. Golson implored younger musicians to   
   pay close attention to the history of the music. He attributed his   
   longevity as a musician to a restless creative spirit.   
      
   “Being satisfied is a curse,” he once said in an interview with Jim   
   Merod, the co-author of his autobiography, “Whisper Not” (2016). “You   
   tend to slow down or come to a stop. Just like having an ego problem.   
   That brings creativity to a halt. The ego only looks outside of itself.”
