Q&A with MILFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS Director Jake Meginsky on Friday, July 27 at the Music Hall

Director Jake Meginsky will be in attendance for a Q&A following the 7:20pm screening of MILFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS on Friday, 7/27. Click here for tickets.

About the film:
Milford Graves has performed internationally since 1964, both as a soloist and in ensembles with such legends as Albert Ayler, Giuseppi Logan and Sonny Sharrock. He is a founding pioneer of avant-garde jazz, and he remains one of the most influential living figures in the evolution of the form.

The film draws the viewer through the artist’s lush garden and ornate home, into the martial arts dojo in his backyard and the laboratory in his basement – all of this just blocks from where he grew up in the housing projects of South Jamaica, Queens – to form “a beautiful and carefully constructed portrait of a uniquely talented human being.” (Screen Anarchy)
