Synopsis
Chicago 1927. The city where you keep out of Al Capone's way while you listen to Louis Armstrong. Prohibition-era speakeasies dispense illicit hooch and rip-roaring jazz. In a downtown recording studio, a bunch of musicians practise their riffs, while blues legend Ma Rainey takes her own sweet time. As they wait, they talk. Of love, life and creative differences. And, in wildcat trumpeter's Levee's case, the burning desire to change the world with his music.
