“As u0026quot;Rhythm Masters: A Mickey Hart Experienceu0026quot; (2024 release; 59 min.) opens, it is u0026quot;October 23, 2023u0026quot; and (Grateful) Dead drummer Mickey Hart is on the phone with NBA legend Bill Walton, himself the biggest Deadhead there ever was. u0026quot;Music is a necessityu0026quot; observes Hart, eager to explore the connection between sports and music: the rhythm. At this point we are 5 minutes into this documentary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCouple of comments: this is directed by Torey Champagne (u0026quot;Bettor Daysu0026quot;), but letu0026#39;s be clear: this is a Mickey Hart project and product from start to finish. Hartu0026#39;s observations on where and how sports and music are parallel may not always be on point, but for me the critical aspect of this are (i) the visuals, and (ii) the original score, composed and performed by Mickey Hart himself of course. (After seeing this, I immediately tried to chase down where to get the soundtrack, and I have not found it.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Rhythm Masters: A Mickey Hart Experienceu0026quot; premiered on ESPN last week and is now streaming on ESPN+. I didnu0026#39;t know hoe ESPN was planning to air this, but I am happy to report that it was broadcast without any commercial interruption. If you are a Deadhead and you like sports, you cannot go wrong with this documentary (I might even suggest that even if you are not a Deadhead, itu0026#39;s worth checking out.)”
