A independent documentary of the worlds first jazz bagpipe player, Philadelphia musician, Rufus Harley.
Pipes of Peace is a multifaceted intimate portrait of Harley's music, spirit and philosophy... a man who ignores conventional musical genres.
The film will explore his philosophy, struggle, success and his influential jazz bagpipe playing in his community, the nation and throughout the world. Rufus often handed out miniatures of the Liberty Bell and copies of the U.S. Constitution during his tours abroad. Harley's message of sustaining peace to all cultures is as relevant today as his message was in the 60's & 70's.
In the history of the jazz landscape, you will find eccentric geniuses who create music to a different drum... and Rufus Harley was such an individual.
Pipes of Peace interweaves a rare intimate interview with Rufus Harley in his home along with insights and memories from family members, friends and many great musicians.
