‘Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat’ Review: Innovative Doc Draws a Connection Between Jazz Music and the Assassination of Patrice Lumumba

Murtada Elfadl Juxtaposing the story of the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba with a musical tour of jazzman Louis Armstrong and with the expansion of the United Nations after the independence of many African countries in the 1960s might be tall order. Trickier still would be telling this complex story, full of many characters and plot swerves, in a nonlinear manner while filling the screen with written clues providing context like a bibliography of an academic thesis.

Watch 19-year-old Cillian Murphy discuss his jazz band and the importance of live music

Cillian Murphy very nearly pursued a career as a musician.At the age of 19, the Oppenheimer star teamed up with his brother, Páidi, to form their own band: The Sons of Mr Green Genes, named after the Frank Zappa tune from his 1969 album ‘Hot Rats’.Now, in the afterglow of Oppenheimer‘s success (and his BAFTA Best Actor win), a video of Murphy talking about the band’s unique sound, and the importance of live music, has resurfaced on social media. You can watch it above.“It came from the whole spirit of jazz, which is the freedom to express yourself on your instrument, which has been lost,” a teenage Murphy said of the band’s style.The actor then explained how “it can be argued through the ’80s and through the early ’90s [bands were] playing to a pop formula.”“This is the freedom to go a bit further,” he continued.

Record Store Day’s 2024 List, Genre by Genre: Vinyl Exclusives From Noah Kahan, the Weeknd, Paramore, Talking Heads, the Beatles, Bowie and More

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic If you’ve gotten a good look at the just-released list of Record Store Day 2024 exclusives due to hit indie stores on April 20, you may rightly feel overwhelmed: It includes no less than 387 titles. Seriously perusing the lineup can easily amount to a full day’s work, if you’re the kind of omnivore who’s prone to clicking on each alphabetically arranged title to look for content, vinyl colors (black being much more the exception than the rule these days) and — the most trepidatiously approached information of all — how many or how few copies were pressed.

Miles Davis tattoo she inked a few years ago.The high-profile tattoo artist and musician faced accusations of copyright infringement back in 2021, when she was sued by photographer Jeffrey Sedlik after tattooing a portrait of the iconic jazz artist, Miles Davis.According to the lawsuit, Sedlik claimed that the portrait inked by Von D in 2017 constituted a copyright infringement of an image he took of the musician back in 1989 – taken as part of a cover story for JAZZIZ magazine.Now, nearly three years after the suit was first raised, Von D has won the case and has been cleared of any allegations of infringement. This came as a jury ruled that a tattoo reproduction of the photo did not violate copyright.“This case should never have been brought [forward],” Kat Von D’s lawyer told The New York Times on Friday (January 26).

First Look: Kaleidoscopic Sundance Doc ‘Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat’ Dizzies With Burst of Pop and Politics (EXCLUSIVE)

Ben Croll Premiering out of Sundance’s World Cinema Documentary Competition, the impressionistic essay film “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat” refracts the plot against Patrice Lumumba through a kaleidoscopic lens. Cutting between historical footage of the UN General Assembly and home movies shot in liberation-era Congo, weaving in a diverse set of perspectives, and setting the pace to a non-stop rhythm of bebop, rumba and classic jazz, director Johan Grimonprez evokes the euphoria of post-colonial possibility and the heartbreak of the dashed hopes and violent reprisals that would ensue.
