- Filmmaker Noah Hutton (Crude Independence) chronicles Dave King's two night concert at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN. From rehearsals, interviews with the musicians, and concert excerpts, a world emerges where the concept of a band is held above the need for individual showmanship.
Since founding Happy Apple with Michael Lewis and Eric Fratzke in 1996, Dave King has founded and played in an ever-multiplying number of ensembles, forging a reputation as one of those rare musicians who combines rigorous virtuosity, joyous showmanship, and an adventurers free spirit. He is perhaps best known for being one third of the jazz trio The Bad Plus, and has been called by the New York Times "Better than anyone at mixing the sensibilities of post-60s jazz and indie rock."
KING FOR TWO DAYS is an intimate portrait of an artist at the top of his game who has passionately dedicated himself to a group concept.
