The first feature documentary by Ron Mann (GRASS, COMICBOOK CONFIDENTIAL) is an eloquent tribute to a group of highly celebrated artists that helped forge the avant-garde jazz of the 1960s.
Critic and film historian Jonathan Rosenbaum has said IMAGINE THE SOUND “may be the best documentary on free jazz that we have.”
The film features articulate interviews and dramatic
performances by pianists Cecil Taylor and Paul Bley,
tenor saxophone Archie Shepp, and trumpet player Bill Dixon.

Not since Scorsese’s The Last Waltz has a music documentary been so thorough and compatible with its subject. Alongside the dynamic performances, the fi lm captures the diverse history and politicized roots of this unique musical genre.
IMAGINE THE SOUND is an important chapter in the history of the jazz documentary.

NOTES ON THE RESTORATION
IMAGINE THE SOUND was digitally restored from its original 1981 release format in 16mm, mono (optical) sound to HD (High Defi nition), 5.1 stereo.
-
- A brand new low con print was struck from the original 16mm negative, for a widescreen HD transfer on a Spirit DataCine; the sound was entirely remixed on ProTools from the original 35mm stereo recorded master and 16mm magnetic dialogue tracks.
This award-winning film is an
art exposition brought to life.
