One of the most politically charged terms of the 20th century, the Iron Curtain was a metaphor for political and cultural division. In a post-war telegram Winston Churchill referred to the fault line that ran through Europe between East and West as "an Iron Curtain is drawn down upon their front. We do not know what is going on behind".In this two-part album, as far as jazz is concerned, we will showcase, describe and celebrate exactly what was ‘going on behind’. We see that music is the power supreme, with the ability to transcend all barriers, be they physical, political or metaphorical.
