“Mark Turner’s We Raise Them To Lift Their Heads is a self-portrait of the artist as a perpetually maturing improviser/player of the highest order.” – Downbeat Editors Pick.

Longtime collaborators Mark Turner and Jakob Bro play central roles in the featurelength documentary film “Music for Black Pigeons”, which premiered at the 79th Venice Biennale, played across film festivals worldwide and portrays the unique artistic processes of Paul Motian, Lee Konitz, Bill Frisell, Craig Taborn, Andrew Cyrille, Manfred Eicher and many others. Mark Turner is heard on three albums with Jakob Bro, all from Avatar Studios in New York, and enters the film in a session from Copenhagen working on his first solo studio album with Bro as producer.
