Open Land - Meeting John Abercrombie

Liechtenstein2017documentary90'Konkurs DocFilmMusic (2018)

The author of the album "Open Land" (1999), who died in 2017, is a legend of American jazz. The places which were important in his life, the people who inspired him and the artistic choices he made over forty years make a portrait of the guitar genius who was full of colour and warmth – despite being stricken by fate. Poetic visualisations make his music even more powerful than ever.
