A rare and unique assembly of some of the greatest drummers in the world. Explosive talent, passion, humour and irresistible personality come together in a magical setting when seven diverse drummers create a profound and unforgettable experience. You've never seen drummers like this before! Featuring Nasyr Abdul Al-Khabyyr, Dennis Chambers, Kenwood Dennard, Horacio "El-Negro" Hernadez, Giovanni Hidalgo, Mike Mangini and Raul Rekow, the film engages us with the rich music styles and influences that are as dynamic as the performers themselves. We are lifted to another dimension as we connect to the powerful forces of nature embodied in the music of these master musicians. The creative and spiritual freedom of expression these artists display is overwhelming - from Latin rhythms to the wildly original compositions of Kenwood Dennard. Rock, jazz, Latin fusion, soul - these master drummers have backed up the likes of Miles Davis...

"Shot on location in Spain and Canada, this visually lyrical film
provides a carefully constructed narrative of the artist's complex,
inspired life. As a young art student Chambers left the provincial
town of London, Ontario in the early 1950's and sailed to Naples.
In Spain he broke into Picasso's house to ask him for advice, and
ended up enrolling at the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. He lived in
Spain for nine years, and when he came back to Canada he brought
with him an artistic discipline as sharp as Spanish steel,
a sophisticated Argentinean wife, and a new religion; Catholicism.
The film includes the full range of Chambers' work up until his death
at the age of 47 including oil paintings, drawings and experimental
films. His effort to integrate the influences of photography and to
reconcile abstract art with the conservative technical tradition that he
embraced in Spain reflects the central conflicts that have defined
artistic expression in the 20th century. For the last nine years of his
life, Chambers struggled with leukemia, traveling as far as India in
search of a cure, yet during his last years he produced much of his
most radiant work.
Tracks and Gestures includes penetrating interviews with Jungian
analyst and writer Marion Woodman, critic and scholar Ross
Woodman, multimedia artist and co-founder of Canadian Artists
Representation (CAR) Kim Ondaatje, and the great Spanish realist
painter Antonio Lopez. It also includes original footage of
masterpieces by Goya, El Greco, Velazquez, and Rembrandt from
the Prado Museum in Madrid. The film has a delightful original
musical score, and is narrated by two of Canada's finest actors,
Ted Johns and Cedric Smith."
