American Symphony plot
At the start of 2022, multi-instrumentalist Jon Batiste is the most celebrated artist of the year with eleven Grammy nominations. In the midst of this triumph, Jon is immersed in his most ambitious challenge yet: composing 'American Symphony,' an original symphony that thrillingly reimagines the classical traditions of the form and represents an expansive and inclusive diaspora of brings together music for a performance at Carnegie Hall. However, this extraordinary trajectory is disrupted when Batiste's partner - bestselling author Suleika Jaouad - is told that her long-dormant cancer has returned. The film is a portrait of two inimitable artists at a crossroads and a profound meditation on art, love and the creative process.

Mediocre documentary, purely because it has a nomination for the Oscars. Batiste as a whole doesn't interest me very much and at least half of the documentary is about his personal problems (at least, his wife's illness). That doesn't really fit in very well with the rest of the symphony, which does show interesting pieces every now and then, but far too few. 1.5*.
