In May 2022, Henry Threadgill presented an acclaimed concert at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, New York, that combined a vibrant new composition for a 12-piece chamber ensemble with an array of elements, including recited poetic texts and projections of paintings, photographs, and prerecorded film footage and vocal choirs. The New York Times described the music as possessing “a galvanic sense of swing” in a performance imbued with “an obliquely danceable, straightforwardly joyous Threadgillian energy.” The Other One captures and remixes the multimedia performance into a dazzling cinematic document of Threadgill’s experimental vision.
