“This stunning documentary… does not offer anything like a conventional biography or career trajectory of the percussionist, who was and continues to be a unique force in jazz.” —@nytimes (Critic’s Pick) bam.org/film/2020/milford-gr…

This basement was once a speakeasy, run by Milford’s grandparents. For a period it was the Yara dojo. It is now ‘the lab’ filled with Graves heartbeat recording computer equipment, his herbal medicine and tinctures, parts of his library and archive.
@FullMantisMovie now playing at @BAMfilmBrooklyn with two new 16mm shorts by @jakemessmeg featuring Milford in his garden and sculpture studio.

Milford Graves devoted himself to studying the rhythms of the heart. It turns out he was creating a technique to treat himself. nyti.ms/3kafGPH
