Lover Man

About This Movie

Lover Man is more of a contemplative dive into the relationship between music and human connection than a standard narrative film. It’s an outtake from Alan Zweig’s Vinyl, featuring Mike Cartmell passionately discussing the depth of music, particularly the genius of Coleman Hawkins. The film has a raw, intimate feel; it’s like you’re in the room with them, sharing that moment of realization. There's something about the pacing that draws you into the conversation, the way Mike articulates his thoughts makes you reconsider how we engage with sound. The atmosphere is reflective, almost meditative, showcasing a distinct blend of personal reflection and musical appreciation that really resonates.

Lover Man exists in a bit of a gray area, being an outtake from a longer work rather than a standalone feature. Its scarcity arises from limited releases, likely making it a curiosity for those who appreciate music documentaries or Alan Zweig's style. Collectors might find it an interesting piece for its unique take on music’s role in our lives, though not a widely circulated title, it has a niche appeal among those who value personal narratives intertwined with jazz history.
