Good evening.

I'm Helen Mirren, and you're
watching "Documentary Now!"

season 52.

When discussing jazz musician Rex Logan,

the question most often asked is,

"What could have been?"

A man of immense talent,

Rex spent his life
trying to outrun his demons.

In 1999, he stopped running long enough

to be the subject
of the now classic documentary,

"Long Gone."

Is that the same?

- Chromatical scale.
- No?

Well, it's chromatic the first time,

and then the second time
descending, it's whole steps.

[Guitar tuning]

[Beeping]

What is that?

[Man speaks indistinctly]

Can someone turn that off?

[Feedback]

Whoa.

[Folk music playing]

[Rhythmic clapping]

Baxter: Everyone has a story
about Rex Logan.

I remember one time I saw him
buy slugs at 3rd and B.

He was parked outside in a big Cadillac,

listening to Chick Corea,
"Now He Sings, Now He Sobs,"

with Miroslav Vitous on bass.

Now, he's playing it over
and over, and he says to me,

"Man, can you believe the notes
these cats are playing?"

Then he threw up, ruined my shoes.

[Laughs]

I would say it's to be happy.

Woman: Are you happy?

That's a mighty big question.

Yes. I would say I'm happy.

I don't know. You tell me.

Man: Describe Rex Logan
in three words.

How did you meet Rex?

[Cheers and applause]

[Jazz music playing]

[Cheers and applause]

Both:
Solar winds

Rex, what's the difference

between jazz and regular music?

Well, Googy, I don't know

what you mean by regular music.

I don't think it exists.

Ah, come on, guy.
You know what I mean.

I suppose there's color and tone

and feeling, various shapes.

Uh, can somebody get the nu-u-u-rse?

[Laughter]

Meola: The first time I met Rex Logan,

he was passed out facedown
in a plate of spaghetti.

Uh, it was a February night at some
place down on Elizabeth Street.

I had come in with my girlfriend
to get warm,

and I looked over, and there he was.

You know, I remember asking
the waitress, "Is he dead?"

And she pointed at the little
bubbles in the sauce

around his face, so we knew
he was still breathing.

Then she put one of those
little bendy straws in his mouth

for a snorkel, and I thought,
"Watch yourself, Carla.

I mean, there is something
about this one."

[Speaking foreign language]

[Laughter]

Drugs.

[Harmonica music playing]

I've known Rexy since we were kids.

We called him Little Rex
or White Rex or the Flash

'cause he was quick with the ladies.

When we were 16, maybe 17,

we booked a weekend
doing an early set at the Copa.

I mean, this is the biggest gig
any of us had ever seen,

and Rex says, "You're gonna have
to get a sub for me.

I can't make it."

I said, "All right."

So we're playing that first night,

and the next thing you know,
Rex walks in with my mom.

She's his date.

Now, I didn't like that shit, you know?

Can't be messing with my mom.

But Rex liked to tease, you know,

so I just let it go at first.

But then, you know, he started
making out with her,

making real hard eye contact
with me while he's kissing her.

Well, you know, I'm about to
knock his ass out when he says,

"Come on, Julius.
Can't you take a joke?"

Well, it went on for another 2, 3 years,

and luckily I can laugh about it now.

No, I can't. No, I can't.

That son of a bitch
broke my mama's heart.

- Sorry.
- [Speaks native language]

Hey. How you doing? How are you?

Hey, Greg. Hey. What's going on?

Hey, everybody.

How you doing?

[Bells tolling]

Downsworth: A day at long last
which many people here

thought they would never see.

Independence for S?rdasovinia,

the one-time Austro-Hungarian backwater

long trapped behind the Iron Curtain,

has never known
self-governance until now,

all thanks in no small part
to one man, Csaba Mozsar,

and the political opposition movement

he leads and which he calls
the Solar Revolution.

One of S?rdasovinia's
most powerful poets,

now officially its most powerful man,

the first elected president
of a democratic S?rdasovinia.

And while he's almost
universally beloved

by his countrymen,

Mozsar cuts an idiosyncratic figure,

known as much for his love of freedom

as for his love of the
boundary-pushing guitar jazz

of Rex Logan.

Sorry. I-I'm all right.

Logan: Can I have someone
find my lighter please?

I'm always losing my lighter.

It's got, um, Minnie Mouse on it.

[Lighter clicks]

All right.

Man: Is freedom
important to you, Rex?

Yeah, freedom is very important to me.

It's, um, you know, personal liberty.

Freedom, you know, it's...
it's sacrament to me.

That's what I like about
the S?rdasovinians is,

they're very freethinkers.

I met a lot of hip cats here.

[Men singing in native language]

[Speaking native language]

[Applause]

All right.

The story with that one is, uh, uh,

I was really sick.

So this girl, Danni,

was supposed to score for me,

and she got some bad scag or something,

and she almost died.

And they thought she was a corpse,

but she didn't really die,
per se, but...

Uh-huh.

Oh, stellar...
So that's pronounced stellar.

- I don't mean to correct you...
- Stellar.

It's just that...
Yeah, otherwise,

it sounds like Steeler,
like the football team.

Are you just reciting my lyrics to me?

Okay. Yes, that would be
correct, yes.

Oh.

I would read your speeches back to you,

but I don't know them.

You look good. I like that.

You know, I'm part S?rdasovinian
on my mother's side.

She's Cherokee and, um, S?rdasovinian.

So that's why it feels
like home to me here.

You know, when I walk around
in the streets,

they feel familiar to me
because, genetically,

all the streets are in my brain.

Man: Why did you go
with Rex to S?rdasovinia?

Uh, I was pregnant with Rexanne.

I had stopped touring when we had Thad,

but being pregnant,

I just wasn't physically allowed
to fly overseas.

That did not stop Rex.

Why do you think Rex decided
to stay in S?rdasovinia?

Rex was a typical artist, you know?

I mean, he would leave, go on
tour, but he always came back.

And then eventually, he just stayed.

One, two, three, four.

[Scattered applause]

Good show, you guys.

I thought the tempos
were all pretty good.

Hey, Yatella, you can't
play substitutions

underneath the solo, right?

If I'm doing a solo, the whole
thing goes out the window,

right, 'cause then there's no root note.

So all these people here,
they're looking at me, like,

they look like I'm making a mistake.

You know why you did
substitutions during a solo?

No. You don't know why.

You just felt like doing it.

I mean, he knows the solo
is coming, right?

You know my solo is coming, right?

So you know when to lay out, right?

It's a disgrace, you know.

And by the way, I don't give a shit.

It's your gig.

You know, I could care less.

You want to go?

Hey, uh, let's buy us
one of those lemonades.

I go, "That lemonade,

if you don't want
to put ice cubes in it,

that's not lemonade."

You know, if I could do
things my own way,

I'd just bring my own ice cubes,

but they're hard to travel with.

Mm-hmm.

And why do you play guitar?

- It's...
- Why you choose that?

It chose me.

That's what happened.

What do you want me to say?
Do I want him to see his kids?

Yes, of course I do,
but from what I hear,

he can't come back here
even if he wants to.

I mean, legally, it's a lot more
complicated than that, right?

[Jail door clicking]

[Speaking foreign language]

Man: Did Rex Logan know
about the alleged atrocities

being committed by your government?

This is the last song of the night.

Uh, thank you for coming,

and, uh, it's a favorite of mine.

Uh, it's a little slower,
and, uh, you're really not

the right kind of audience for this,

but, uh, well, I got limited
options right now, so...

Uh, anyway, one, two, three, four.

Boy: I know that
he can't leave S?rdas

and that he can't talk about why.

I know that Mr. Logan was
an agent of the American CIA

and that, now that his mission
has been terminated,

he must remain in hiding.

If he makes any attempt
to return to the U.S.,

they will hurt his family.

Man: What do you know about
the Mozsar government?

[Sighs] I only know about jazz, man.

Thanks. Thank you.

Man: Do you miss him?

[Laughs]

Man, I don't know how to answer that.

I do, and I don't, you know?

People always saying,

"Isn't it sad
what happened to Rex?"

We all thought he'd be dead by now.

How bad can it be?

One more question, Rex...
When you look back on this,

do you think the experience
of making this film

will make you happy?

Yeah.

Of course it'll make me happy.

Walking around Byog, and you filming me

and making me play the guitar

and talk to people
I didn't know, perfect.

Those beautiful ladies you hired...

...and filmed it
with the camera,

genius.

Let me tell you something, Robert,

you're a beautiful filmmaker.
