Apart from being an incredible musician with a rare feel for music, the drummer Ed Thigpen, who passed away this year, was also a human being with a fascinating personal history. This multifaceted portrait film, tells the story of Thigpen, whose work (on no less than 900 albums) has included collaborations with Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Herbie Hancock and Ella Fitzgerald.

“I can imagine no better tribute to Mr. Thigpen than Don McGlynn’s extremely personal  documentary that plays more like a friendly  visit than a historic document, although it is both.” —Seattle Post Globe
