Meeting RoomTrail-blazing trans musician finally earns recognition in his 70s
Keyboard Fantasies tells the story of Beverly Glenn-Copeland, a black transgender septuagenarian and musical genius who finally finds his place in the world. When Glenn receives an unexpected email in 2016 from a record collector in Japan enquiring about copies of his 1986 self-release, Keyboard Fantasies, everything changes. Now signed to a major indie label, and sharing a timely message with the world, Glenn's emergence from obscurity transpires as an intimate coming of age story that spins the pain and suffering of prejudice into rhythm, hope and joy.
