Documentary on composer, bandleader and improviser Misha Mengelberg.
Music fragments and statements give a clear insight in Mengelbergs original way of thinking and way of working. Old filmmaterial shows how Mengelberg developed from classic composing by jazz influences to become the godfather of Dutch improvised music.
