Satan and Adam - TRAILER for upcoming documentary
Satan and Adam is a feature-length documentary that follows two unlikely Harlem street performers who later emerge as award winning recording artists when "discovered" by the band, U2. The charismatic Sterling "Satan" Magee, described as Parliament Funkadelic-meets-Robert Johnson, has toured with Marvin Gaye, Etta James, King Curtis and James Brown, and is widely considered the best one-man-band in the world. The pensive Adam Gussow is a young university professor, published author, and talented harmonica player. Their tense meeting on 125th Street in Harlem during a racially charged 1980’s New York defied cultural expectations, and set them on a musical odyssey that would forever change their lives and the audiences they inspired.   Scott Balcerek documents Adam's ten-year "Blues apprenticeship" with Satan, their painful separation, Satan's mysterious disappearance, and the hard cultural and personal realities of their reunion. Satan and Adam reminds us of the power of music to transcend, while providing another important chapter in the Blues experience and its cultural impact on the world.
