A portrait of renowned percussionist Milford Graves (1941-2021), exploring his kaleidoscopic creativity and relentless curiosity. Graves tells stories of discovery, struggle and survival, ruminates on the essence of 'swing', activates electronic stethoscopes in his basement lab to process the sound of his heart, and travels to Japan where he performs at a school for children with autism, igniting the student body into an ecstatic display of spontaneous collective energy.

"...a jazz movie in every sense of the word." — Village Voice.
