"The Great Flood" is a film by Bill Morrison with music by the guitarist Bill Frisell.
The Mississippi River Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood
in American history. In the spring of 1927, the river broke out of its
earthen embankments in 145 places and inundated 27,000 square miles and provoked an exodus of displaced sharecroppers, who left plantation life and migrated to Northern cities.
For the 78 minutes film, Morrison used film archives, including the Fox Movietone Newsfilm Library and the National archives, for footage of the Mississippi River Flood.
For the score, Bill Frisell is joined by Tony Scherr on bass, Kenny Wollesen on drums and Ron Miles on trumpet.
