This newly rediscovered short was created in Jim's home studio in Bethesda, MD around 1961. It is one of several experimental shorts inspired by the music of jazz great Chico Hamilton. At the end, in footage probably shot by Jerry Juhl, Jim demonstrates his working method.

The simple strength and raw power of film. Audio and visual food for the soul, feed them correct and your heart will align. Such a cool project and what a pleasure.
