SUMMARY:A Taste of Heaven: The Ecstatic Song & Gospel of Maestro Raymond Anthony Myles
DESCRIPTION:Maestro Raymond Anthony Myles was the electrifying Gospel Genius of New Orleans\, a maverick musician and beloved preacher whose queer identity was obvious but remained unspoken in the Black church. His turbulent life was a complex and colorful journey\, propelled by outsized talent\, fierce ambition\, and deeply rooted in the gritty\, vibrant city that shaped him. A TASTE OF HEAVEN follows Myles from the everyday violence of public housing in New Orleans\; to the public schools where he steered countless students away from gangs and drugs\; to the Southern churches where he mesmerized the faithful\; to the Telluride Bluegrass and Newport Folk festivals where he made new and wonderstruck fans as he was on the brink of music stardom. Like a comet shooting across the sky\, he was here one minute—brilliant\, incandescent\, and unmistakably unique. And then\, just as quickly\, he was gone. A conversation with director\, producer\, and screenwriter Leo Sacks\, moderated by Shelli Nicole\, will immediately follow the screening. Co-Presented by Lighthouse Church of Chicago.
