Robert Fenz: Vertical Air (27 minutes) A film and music collaboration with music composed by jazz innovator Wadada Leo Smith
Edward English with Sun Ra: Spaceways (1968 18 minutes). Mysterious film putatively made in 1968 in collaboration with the Arkestra mastermnid himself.
SUNDAY JUNE 3
3pm
Program #3
Patrick A. Gaucher: Continuum - Why The Jazz Establishment Can't Hold Down Matthew Shipp (2001, 50 minutes) World Premiere.
Harry Smith: Mirror Animations (10 1/2 minutes): "An exposition of Buddhism and the Kaballa in the form of a collage" The soundtrack to this journey is Monk's "Misterioso".
5pm
Program #4
Elliot Jokelson: Mesmerized (10 minutes) : An intimate walk through the woods with Roswell Rudd and his trombone.
Auguste Varkalis: Bird (1997 - 2001, 8 minutes): An abstract peek at the essence of Charlie Parker. Live accompaniment by Daniel Carter and Sabir Mateen.
Michael Lucio Sternbach: Down To The Crux ( 2000, 45 minutes) : Whatever Ken Burns might have to say on the subject, free jazz was one of the most politically and socially aware art forms of the 1960's and it remains so to this day. Stylistically, this film is one of the crucial missing episodes of jazz.
