"Whatever Ken Burns might have to say on the subject, free jazz was one of
the most important, politically and socially aware art forms of the 1960s,
and it remains so to this day. The development of free jazz in the 60s
paralleled that of the civil rights movement and their histories are
uniquely intertwined. Down to the Crux is a music documentary that moves
beyond the sounds to examine the context within which they were created.
Weaving together archival footage of protests and street riots with musical
performances and interviews with the likes of William Parker, David S. Ware,
Bill Dixon, Peter Brotzmann, Alan Silva, Marshall Allen and Archie Shepp,
Down to the Crux captures the art form's fiery message of freedom and
transcendence, and its attempts to break down both musical and social
barriers." -NY Underground Film Festival
