inside out in the open is an hour-long documentary about a form of jazz, popularly known as free jazz. the film is an exploration of that music through the voices and performances of over twenty such musicians, from those who were its first generation to younger musicians joining the tradition. unlike more encyclopedic documentaries, inside out in the open unfolds in a more organic and musical form, revealing multiple aspects of this music and its makers. the editing structure is reflective and complimentary to the music. free-form jazz, also known as the "the new thing," or "avant-garde jazz," burst on the scene in the early '60s, led by ornette coleman and cecil taylor. it vastly extended the boundaries in rhythm, sound, and harmonics, stressing collective improvisation, with an expansive openness and with deep personal emotion.
the release of inside out in the open comes on the heels of the major 10-part "jazz" series by ken burns, which was criticized for given little attention to jazz after 1960, and for being critical of the genre of "free jazz." with only a small amount of media work available on this development in jazz, inside out in the open is a welcome contribution, giving overdue respect to these musical artists. |
