This film documentary is a portrait of the blues poet Gil Scott-Heron, who gives a personal tour of Washington, D.C. and performs a concert with his Midnight Band.
Black Wax centers on the late African American poet-singer-songwriter Gil Scott-Heron – the man Melody Maker called ‘the most dangerous musician alive’ and many dubbed the forefather of rap music – and his 10-piece Midnight Band. It was filmed entirely on location in Washington, D.C., primarily at the Wax Museum Nightclub (now defunct).
