”There`s 36 black notes and 52 white notes. We don`t mean to eliminate nothin` but we just gonna hear the black notes at this time if you don`t mind” - Blacknuss/Rashaan Roland Kirk. Moving, humorous documentary with a hidden meaning about the life of the brilliant, blind Jazz musician, multi-instrumentalist, nose flautist, voice imitator and stirrer on American talk-shows, who, due to his breathing technique, could play three instruments at once. His stage shows were bursting with energy and he campaigned with the same dedication against racism and for the rights of disabled people. Winner of the SEE THE SOUND prize for the best musical documentation for this year`s SoundTrack_Cologne.
