Maffy's Jazz

Runtime
56 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Maffy Falay, now a 90 year-old Turkish jazz musician, has left his homeland for Sweden at an early age, following his passion for music. In the 60’s Maffy became a popular trumpet player in Europe. He was coveted by such jazz legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and he shared the stage with Quincy Jones, Kenny Clarke, Francy Boland. Being among the few remaining members of a bygone generation, Maffy now leads a solitary life in his one-room apartment in the suburbs of Stockholm. "Maffy's Jazz" traces Maffy's relationship to music accompanying him candidly in different time frames, witnessing his alienation as he seeks to redefine his existence during a time when his generation, culture and music slowly fade away.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
