One Jail.  One Recording Studio.- 16 Bars

1/20/2020

Comments

 
Picture
​16 BARS is a feature length music documentary that offers a rare glimpse at the human stories — and songs — that are locked away in our nation’s jails and prisons. The film follows a unique rehabilitation effort in the Richmond City Justice Center that invites inmates to write and record original music. In the jail’s makeshift recording studio, 4 men collaborate on an album with a Grammy-winning recording artist, Todd “Speech” Thomas, from the iconic activist hip-hop group Arrested Development. As the creative process unfurls, each of these men must unearth painful memories from the past, which hold a key to a new chapter in their lives. 
​"THESE MEN ARE BEHIND BARS... BUT THEIR VOICES HAVE TO BE HEARD."
- SPEECH (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT)
​The film is set in Richmond Virginia, the former seat of the confederacy, where the legacy of systemic racism, a spiraling opioid crisis, generational poverty, and a lack of mental health services have entrapped many of its citizens in a cycle of incarceration, making the city itself a unique case study for rising recidivism rates in the U.S. at large. With the U.S. locking up more of its citizens per capita than any other nation on the planet, the music of the film serves as rare testimony to the raw and messy truth behind the criminal justice system’s revolving door.

FROM THE ROYAL KRUNK JAZZ ORKESTRA:
Greetings All, We are The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra. We are getting set to record the follow up, or “prequel” to last years recording “Pyramids” This new recording is entitled “The Sirius Mystery” and takes place many thousands of years before “Pyramids”. It is part 1 of our trilogy that will end in 2021 with the sequel to “Pyramids”. The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra is wholly original from concept to execution. Our music is the living embodiment of “Ancient Future” We strive to educate, illuminate, and entertain at the highest possible levels. As you know, financing a large ensemble is very expensive. As the leader of our group this responsibility falls to me. Trust me, It’s not easy asking for help, but in today’s music business we are left with very few favorable alternatives. We hope you will contribute to our campaign. Thank You.

incredible attraction and will tell the important story of African American music in our city and
beyond. This is the culmination of years of organization, hard work and planning from city and
business leaders alike. I’m honored to have played a role in helping make this a reality for our
city, and I can’t wait for all Nashvillians to experience it.”
