Carlo, Keep Swingin' Trailer (2015)
01 January 2015 Factual 84 mins
After World War II, trumpeter and music theorist Carlo Bohländer founded the Domicile du Jazz in bombed-out Frankfurt, a cradle of jazz in Germany. By day, the basement served as a rehearsal space; by night, it hosted endless jam sessions with a breathtaking atmosphere. There were no fees, but plenty of schnapps. At the center of it all was Carlo, who infected everyone with his genius, wit, and enthusiasm. Soon, world-famous jazz greats from Germany and abroad were coming and going. Among them were Albert Mangelsdorff, Bill Ramsey, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and even Louis Armstrong. The Jazzkeller and Carlo built bridges between nations and made it possible for the world to come together again in Frankfurt—at least for the duration of a jam session.
