Filmmakers Jørgen Leth and Andreas Koefoed present this cinematic documentary exploring the lives and processes of some of the world’s most renowned and prolific jazz musicians including Jakob Bro, Bill Frisell, Lee Konitz, Paul Motian and Midori Takada.

The film crew has followed Danish composer Jakob Bro over 14 years throughout North America, Europe and Japan, witnessing his musical encounters with musicians across generations and nationalities.

Through Bro’s many collaborations, the film finds inspiration not only in the individual and diverse methods of the musicians documented, but also in the unique energy and camaraderie created when musicians collaborate. Shooting in the time-honoured jazz tradition of simply “letting the tape roll,” Leth and Koefoed discover intimate, improvised moments between pioneers of experimental music at recording spaces in New York, Copenhagen and Lugano. In capturing the intimate process between its eclectic cast, Music for Black Pigeons helps to lay the foundation for future generations.

In Danish and English with English subtitles.
