Tempo Rubato: A documentary film on the origins and inspiration behind a jazz ensemble work by Samuel Torres

"Rhythm is the pulse in music. Rhythm marks the beating of its heart, proves its vitality, attests its very existence. Rhythm is order. But this order in music cannot progress with the cosmic regularity of a planet, nor with the automatic uniformity of a clock. It reflects life, organic human life, with all its attributes, therefore it is subject to moods and emotions, to rapture and depression." —Ignacy Jan Paderewski
