Pogovorni večer: Gledanje jazza - ogled dokumentarnih filmovInternational Sweethearts of Rhythm America's Hottest All Girl Band in
The Call of the Jitterbug (1988)
in
Pop-up Jam Session
-English below-
Na tokratnem večeru si bomo ogledali kar dva krajša dokumentarna filma.
The Call of the Jitterbug nas bo popeljal v svet swing glasbe in jitterbug (ali lindy hop) plesa – plesne revolucije, ki je osvojila Ameriko v 30. in 40. letih prejšnjega stoletja. Film raziskuje zgodovino in vpliv jitterbug plesa, skozi pričevanja plesalcev, zgodovinarjev in glasbenikov tiste dobe. Spoznali bomo, kako je swing glasba povezovala generacije, premikala meje rasne integracije in ustvarila pravo plesno kulturo.
International Sweethearts of Rhythm prinaša zgodbo ene najbolj revolucionarnih ženskih jazz zasedb v zgodovini. Film osvetljuje njihovo izjemno glasbeno kariero, pionirski duh in boj proti družbenim omejitvam svojega časa.
Gre za prvo medrasno žensko big band skupino, ki je presegla rasne in kulturne meje v času swinga in jazza. Dokumentarec združuje arhivske posnetke, intervjuje in glasbene vložke, ki prikazujejo talent, energijo in pogum članic zasedbe.
Pridite z odprtimi ušesi, odprtimi očmi in pripravljeni deliti – jazz je pogovor.
✨ Pogovor vodi: Špela Premelč
Takoj po pogovoru se bo naš dragi prijatelj Aljaž zbral z nekaj glasbeniki, da bodo v studiu priredili odprti jam session. To ni koncert ali uradni nastop – gre za spontan, pop-up jam med glasbeniki iz vse Slovenije, ki se bodo morda tisti večer ustavili pri nas. Tako kot jazz bo tudi ta dogodek poln improvizacije … kdo ve, kdo se bo pojavil?
Vsi ste vabljeni, da po pogovornem večeru ostanete ali se ustavite – še kaj spijete in morda celo zaplešete – če ste glasbenik, pa prinesite svoj instrument in se nam pridružite!

Discussion evening: Watching jazz - Viewing Documentary Films
International Sweethearts of Rhythm America's Hottest All Girl Band and
The Call of the Jitterbug (1988)
and
Pop-up Jam Session
This evening, we will watch two short documentaries.
The Call of the Jitterbug will take us into the world of swing music and jitterbug (or lindy hop) dancing—a dance revolution that took America by storm in the 1930s and 1940s. The film explores the history and influence of jitterbug dancing through the testimonies of dancers, historians, and musicians of that era. We will learn how swing music connected generations, pushed the boundaries of racial integration, and created a true dance culture.
International Sweethearts of Rhythm tells the story of one of the most revolutionary female jazz bands in history. The film highlights their extraordinary musical career, pioneering spirit, and struggle against the social constraints of their time.
They were the first interracial female big band to transcend racial and cultural boundaries during the swing and jazz era. The documentary combines archival footage, interviews, and musical interludes that showcase the talent, energy, and courage of the band members.
Come ready to watch, listen, and share—because jazz is all about conversation.
✨ Conversation leader: Špela Premelč
Right after the discussion, our dear friend Aljaž will gather with a few musicians to use the studio space for an open jam session. This isn’t a concert or a formal performance — it’s a spontaneous, pop-up jam among musicians from all over Slovenia who might drop by that evening. Just like jazz, it’ll be full of improvisation… who knows who might show up?
You’re all welcome to stay or drop by after the talk — grab another drink and maybe even dance a little - and if you’re a musician, bring your instrument and sit in!
✨ Pop-up Jam Session leader: Aljaž Draškovič-Bračun
