A monumental and innovative history lesson set to the rhythm of jazz, exploring the social upheavals of the 1960s, the Cold War, the decolonization of Africa, and how the CIA and the Belgian monarchy orchestrated the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of Congo, using legendary jazz musicians as a distraction. The political significance and music of Afro-American artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone, Max Roach, or Abbey Lincoln, and Congolese musicians like Adou Elenga or Joseph Kabasele, piece together a compelling and harrowing puzzle.
