It Must Schwing - The Blue Note Story (2018)


In 1939, Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two young émigrés from Berlin, founded the legendary jazz label Blue Note Records in New York, a label dedicated itself exclusively to the recording of American jazz music and developed its own unmistakeable recording style and sound. 

Elaborate and moving documentary about one of the most important jazz labels combines the personal histories of its protagonists and the artists with a sharp portrayal of the political ramifications in America and Europe.
