Dedicated to Chaos (part 1). In the third of this week's films, Europe is decimated by war, and jazz, banned by the Nazi regime, becomes a symbol of freedom under musicians like Django Reinhardt. Yet, for many black
Americans, jazz sounded hollow, as they fought abroad for liberties that they were not granted at home.
Part 2 of Dedicated to Chaos is tomorrow at 11.20pm (S)
