I've just got hold of this film. I haven't seen it yet (that's later today) but I've no doubt it's excellent.
If you want it here's the Vimeo link. You have to register, if you haven't already, and it can be rented or bought. There's immediate access and it's not expensive.

Extraordinary lack of response here... have you all seen it already?
-
I have seen it already. Did enjoy it a lot. Great music (of course), but also a great movie. Sometimes funny, and great pictures.
-
I have not seen it yet, so have nothing to contribute to a conversation. Sco does seem to be a natural presence in terms of his self-awareness as a musician, so I can see this being interesting. Different than the Bill Frisell movie, as Bill seems to be something of a mystery to himself (which made that interesting in a different way).

But I have to say I was expecting a far more interested and enthusiastic response. There was one when it was first announced but interest seems to have waned.

Any serious guitar player should try transcribe his solos and watch the movie of course..Last edited by kris; 01-07-2023 at 05:59 AM.

It is very well done, I think - I was part of the campaign and Joerg (the maker of the film) posted updates in which he talked about the hundreds of hours he had filmed.
I think it is a fine portrait of a great jazz musician making a living and enjoying it (well, except for airports). And Sco is a wonderful person with a great humor and an infinite musicality.

Added later: Figured it out. Finally. LOL.

It says 'or use Pay Pal'. There's another option.

You scroll down past the Vimeo sections till you get to the 'DVD + Posters' bit and make your selection. Then you click on the yellow PayPal box. Fill in your email and do what it says. You don't need a PayPal account.

Merci pour votre patience (!).
Thanks again,

Govt Mule does an annual show there--in fact I saw Warren at the airport in Mo Bay a couple of years ago--but he posted that he is getting over COVID and Influenza A and will not be able to make it, so John is filling in.
The album John did with Govt Mule--Sco-Mule--is a great album, which I listen to again and again. Here's hoping Warren gets back on the road again soon.
