Dokumentarfilmperle – „Soundtrack für einen Staatsstreich“ (2024)
Es beginnt mit einer Jazznummer. Kein Vorspann, kein erklärender Off-Kommentar. Stattdessen: Trommeln, Bläser, flackernde Schwarzweißbilder – und plötzlich sind wir mittendrin im Jahr 1960. In Kongo. Afrika im Kalten Krieg. In einem Netz aus kolonialer Gier, geopolitischer Intrige und kultureller Täuschung. Ein fantastisch gemachter und unbedingt sehenswerter Dokumentarfilm! (ARTE)

"If Slugs’ had been a proper concert hall for America’s classical music, there would be no legend, no search for the unknown, no war stories for older musicians to tell each other at the bar."

Blue Train
2017 Europe Reissue
Having a jazzy Saturday morning.
I originally reached for A Love Supreme, but saw this and opted for IT instead.
I love Lazy Bird.
One of my all time favorite jazz recordings.
A wonderful album to make French Toast to.
