An experimental film made in 1963.

Powell walks through Copenhagen.

Scenes visited include King’s Garden, the docks, and across a waste dump along with unsynched footage of Powell playing.

Filmmaker Leth comments: “His touch on the keys was like he was burning his fingers — that’s what it looked like, and that’s how it sounded.”

Narrated by Dexter Gordon.
