This show is about the intersection between Polish Jazz and politics. More specifically, it is about how Polish Jazz served as a proxy for a dreams of capitalism, opportunities, and quest for freedom in an oppressively decade of 1950's in Poland. The podcast tells the story how communist rulers of Poland were trying to suppress all forms of political and artistic freedom; and how Willis Conover's the Voice of America radio broadcasts, cosmopolitan underground culture of "bikiniarze", and “Freedom Fighter in Bright Socks” Leopold Tyrmand fought against the regime.
