In KING FOR TWO DAYS, filmmaker Noah Hutton chronicles drummer Dave King's (The Bad Plus, Happy Apple) two night concert at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, featuring five of the groups he drums in. Through rehearsals, interviews with the musicians, and concert excerpts, a world emerges where the concept of the band is held above the need for individual showmanship, a rarity in jazz.
