Immortal: The Musical Crusade of Reggie Workman

“Immortal: The Musical Crusade of Reggie Workman” celebrates the extraordinary, enduring legacy of bassist, composer, and culture-bearer Reggie Workman. Executive produced by Wynton Marsalis, this film explores why jazz must be recognized as America’s greatest artistic contribution to the world. Reggie’s story unfolds in conversation with his youngest daughter, Ayana Workman, and is illuminated by voices like Archie Shepp, Cornel West, Jason Moran, Robert Glasper, Marilyn Crispell, Don Moye, Jen Shyu, and others. Through live performances, rare footage, and historical exploration of his musical philosophy, we gain insight into why Reggie Workman passionately believes jazz is far from a dying art form.
