Summary:
This portrait of renowned percussionist and pioneer of avant-garde jazz Milford Graves finds him exploring his kaleidoscopic creativity and curiosity. 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 just blocks from where he grew up in the housing projects of South Jamaica, Queens. Oscillating from present to past, MILFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS embodies the essence of Graves's music
