Nathaniel Taylor plays African-American jazz musician Warmack, who is bedeviled by crooked, homicidal record executives. At the behest of his grandfather Papa Harris (Clarence Muse), Warmack seeks out inner strength by studying his family roots. Inspired by the example of his African forebears, Warmack successfully trounces the evil record moguls after they arrange the death of his best friend. Passing Through director Larry Clark took on the project as a means of completing his UCLA film degree. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Original and thoughtful, this is a very special first feature, with a feeling for the music that's boldly translated into film style.
