Beyond being a director and an actor, Clint Eastwood is a pianist. "Blues was always part of my musical life, and the piano has a special place. A documentary on the blues at the piano provides me with the opportunity to make a film more directly connected to music than the features I made during my career", says the director. The film presents valuable scenes on file and interviews and performances by pianists such as Pinetop Perkins, Jay McShann, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Dave Brubeck, and Marcia Ball. Eastwood also shows how the instrument was used at separate times and with different functions within this kind of music.
