Synopsis:
Imagine the Sound (1981) profiles four musicians who were influential in the evolution of jazz into a free-form musical art. Canadian documentary filmmaker Ron Mann's first feature documentary, made when he was only 22 years old, was originally released on 16mm, mono optical sound. Considered to be by many critics as one of the all-time great jazz films, Imagine The Sound is newly restored and presented on HD and 5.1 stereo sound.
