Filmed in black and white by handled cameras on stage very close from the musicians, Eclipse is both a modern (frames and editing) and a classical look (black and white) on a music which, from blues to so called free jazz, claims simultaneously creativity and history, structure and free improvisation. All those assumed contradictions are giving an energy and a rare beauty to the music of wadada leo smith’s golden quartet.
