“It Must Be Schwing” Screening at Lourdes University

If you ain’t got that “schwing.” Discover the true story of how German Jewish refugees helped America’s Black jazz musicians get the recognition they deserved during a screening of It Must Be Schwing: The Blue Note Story. The new German documentary follows Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two young men from Berlin who escaped Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s before founding Blue Note Records in New York in 1939. The label was exclusively dedicated to American jazz music and included musicians like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, and Quincy Jones. The documentary, presented by the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo, features both English and German with subtitles.
