A BBC Production, this beautifully crafted film by veteran music filmmaker Dick Fontaine is a continuation of a journey he started with his hero Sonny Rollins in the 1967 landmark documentary, "Who is Sonny Rollins?" Built around Rollins' self-produced 80th birthday concert, Fontaine updates the Saxophone Colossus' career and takes us on an exhilarating adventure of music, sound and image.

Charles Lloyd was one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 1960s. His music crossed traditional boundaries and explored new territories. Catapulted into worldwide fame in his 20s, by his early 30s, he abandoned his life of touring and recording and went into seclusion in Big Sur, CA. Circumstance brought him back to a public life in the late 1980s. 'Arrows Into Infinity' is a journey in sound through the unusual life and career of this jazz legend. Lloyd's own voice, and those who worked with him over the last five decades help us discover and better understand this enigmatic man and his spiritual pursuit through music. This film is a collaborative work between Lloyd's wife Dorothy Darr; a painter, and videographer/filmmaker, Jeffery Morse.
