Alone Together 2021

Directed by Ari Marcopoulos

Marcopoulos’s vital document of jazz multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee, filmed in an empty gallery with three cameras recording the raw behind-the-scenes set-up, captures the avant-garde legend in all of his improvised splendor, his poetry reading and alto saxophone performance, alternately aggressive and transcendent, overflowing with beauty and lyricism.
