The legendary Screamin' Jay Hawkins
was a great influence on many musicians and his performances were so
highly provocative in their originality that even today they can be
considered "revolutionary".
Screamin' Jay Hawkins met Nicholas
Triandafyllidis and commissioned him to make a documentary about his
notorious life in and out of the music industry. Screaming Jay came to
Greece and he gave his very last concerts in Thessaloniki and Athens,
before his sudden death in Paris in 2000.
Having been left a
legacy of confidential sessions and footage of his final live
performances, Triandafyllidis completed the film with a little help from
Jay's friends: Jim Jarmusch (director of Ghost Dog), Bo Diddley, Eric
Burdon (The Animals), Rudi Protrudi, Diamanda Galas, Arthur Brown (The
Crazy Word of Arthur Brown), Andre Williams and others.
He remained faithful to their common vision:
"A film full of positive energy, an endless source of life".
