"Electric Heart gives Ellis his due." Vizzusi combines
archival footage of Ellis in action from several eras with enlightening, reverential comments from his band mates and icons
like Gunther Schuller, Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson. Better late than never, the Film convinces you that Ellis created
exciting, unprecedented music.
-Dave Segal, The Stranger - Seattle
