Part documentary, part musical ethnography, “The Cry of Jazz” (1959) was conceived by the composer Edward Bland, novelist Mark Kennedy, city-planner Nelam Hill, and mathematician Eugene Titus and comments on the innovations of Black musical history while acknowledging the ongoing fight for civil rights. It was incredibly controversial for these reasons and the frank discussions between the multi-racial cast at the center of the film

"What if the 'material' of music could be something that transcends these more object-oriented forms? Can music, for instance, be a process, a way of relating, a way of listening, a way interacting? And if music can be de-coupled from objects, what might my role as a composer be in the creation of this music?"

— William Doherty — When Sound Becomes Like a Spaceship
