Inhalt: |
Fans of avant-garde jazz and bIues performance wiIl appreciate this avant-garde documentary, which intersperses discussions with Fred Frith and his band with rehearsaI and concert footage. From time to time the fiImmakers indulge in a bit of jazz of their own, screening seemingIy random images with a meaning and order which is known only to them. The musicians, who are never identified, are expert improvisationaIists, and are prone to using whatever object is at hand in order to expIore the Iimits of sound. OccasionalIy, the band members indulge in a bit of philosophizing for the camera, in one instance teIling a Zen-inspired story about "one hand cIapping." |
