Music for Black Pigeons is the first collaboration between Jørgen Leth and Andreas Koefoed. The film poses existential questions to influential jazz players such as Bill Frisell, Lee Konitz, Midori Takada and many others: How does it feel to play, and what does it mean to listen? What is it like to be a human being and spending your whole life trying to express something through sounds? The characters wake up, rehearse, record, perform and talk about music. In some moments they are on the edge, the edge of existence, constantly challenging themselves. They listen. They devote themselves to finding a space to create a connection to something bigger than themselves. Something that will outlast all of us.

1927년 미시시피강의 범람은 미국 역사상 가장 기록적인 홍수로 남아 있다. 그 해 봄 미시시피강은 145군데 강둑을 넘어 2만7천 제곱 마일의 땅에 최고 30피트 높이까지 범람했고, 이 홍수는 일터를 잃은 소작농들의 집단 이주라는 또 다른 결과를 낳았다. 음악적인 관점에서 볼 때 남부 농장에서 북부 도시로의 '흑인 대이동'은 델타 블루스에 전자 사운드가 더해져 시카고 블루스와 리듬앤블루스, 로큰롤으로 재해석되는 결과로 이어졌다. 감독 빌 모리슨과 작곡가 겸 기타리스트 빌 프리셀은 글과 대사를 최소화하고 무성 이미지에 인상적인 사운드트랙을 얹어, 미국 역사의 중대한 한 시기를 강렬한 영상으로 창조해낸다.
