He collaborated with figures such Allen Ginsberg and Philip Glass, and bands such as Talking Heads and the Modern Lovers, but his prolific creative work was little known in his lifetime. Producer John Connell takes us to New York to seek out the spirit of the man and his music, meeting some of Arthur Russell's friends and colleagues and visiting his old apartment to listen to some of the hundreds of cassette tapes Arthur left behind after his death in the early nineties."
