Crazy Times - Kim Cypher (2020)

The electrifying jazz saxophonist, vocalist and composer Kim Cypher features in this all-new music adventure during the Covid-19 Pandemic in the UK. The plot outlines the crazy times fellow musicians have to endure with loss of the performing work and therefore adapt to new boundaries to keep the music playing. Kim and drummer husband Mike Cypher pitch up in a graffitied underpass in hometown of Cheltenham, start to play their music, busking in the underpass. Passers-by walking through the enchanting tunnel decide to join in and stop to listen and dance, enjoying the musician's zany, crazy beat which prevails the entire tunnel. Passers-by including a biker, families, a guy on a trikke and dancers all drop in and show their gratitude. All the while, a graffiti artist creates a 'Crazy Times' piece of art on the wall as she joins in with the music and dancing. After all, these are 'crazy' times, right? Finally, we see our favourite duo walk off into the night after a most celebrated performance feeling that a very special moment in time has been captured, a moment that demonstrates the power of music to bring people together, raise spirits and create a moment of escapism, even in these crazy times.
