Watching this movie was a spiritual experience itself. One of the most successful musical documentaries I've ever viewed. Purely honest and intimate depiction of one of the most talented Jazz artists on the planet. It's time America "rediscovered" Charles Lloyd who enjoyed rock(jazz?) star status in the 60"s. His music is vibrant with life, love, and light today! He transcended so many boundaries with his music in his lifetime,it's astounding.
I gained new insight into the heart and genius of this artist through the delicate artistry of this film. Wonderful accomplishment! The historical context, the interweaving of nature scenes with the music lifts this genre to new heights. Film maker Dorothy Darr has produced a masterpiece that radiates as a work of love.
This movie was so inspiring I drove down to Amoeba records and bought a few of Lloyd's CD's. Someone else must have been equally moved because the selections had been thinned out recently according to the staff.Some of his newer CD's were in stock, but the older ones of historical nature mentioned in the film were not. So what did i do? Started ordering online of course. The movie is just that powerful.
