An exuberant profile of four legendary figures associated with the jazz avant-garde of the 1960s—Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Bill Dixon, and Paul Bley. Shepp speaks of Malcolm X and Coltrane, Bley and Dixon discuss jazz and dance, Taylor talks his own poetry. "The best documentary on free jazz that we have" – critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.
