Overview
In King for Two Days, filmmaker Noah Hutton chronicles drummer Dave King's (The Bad Plus, Happy Apple) two-night concert at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, featuring five of the groups he drums in. Through rehearsals, interviews with the musicians, and concert excerpts, a world emerges where the concept of the band is held above the need for individual showmanship, a rarity in jazz.
