Maffy's Jazz

Maffy Falay, a Turkish jazz trumpeter, who passed away in February 2022 at an age of 92, had left his homeland for Sweden at an early age, following his passion for music. In the 60’s he became a popular trumpeter 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. In the last years of his life, he was among the few remaining members of a bygone generation. In different time frames we accompany Maffy in his one-room apartment in the suburbs of Stockholm and witness his alienation as he seeks to redefine his existence during a time when his generation and music fade away.
