Jason Moran: The Looks of A Lot

April 10, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC+0

Free

This documentary film follows jazz pianist and composer Jason Moran as he prepared his multimedia project “Looks of a Lot,” which was performed at the Symphony Center in Chicago in May 2014. The film follows the project’s collaboration between Moran and his trio The Bandwagon (with drummer Nasheet Waits and bassist Tarus Mateen), artist Theaster Gates, musicians Ken Vandermark, Katie Ernst, and the Kenwood Academy High School Jazz Band. The film offers an in-depth behind-the-scenes look into the project, which connects Moran’s improvised blues compositions and Gates’ thought-provoking stage constructions made out of recycled materials as they trace the artistic history of Chicago. A Q&A with RoundO Films’ Radiclani Clytus (Executive Producer), Gregg Conde (Cinematographer), and Anthony Gannon (Editor) will follow the screening. They will discuss the making of Looks and their latest documentary feature Geechee, a Low Country-based project that is currently in pre-production.
