Between his Hollywood career and his love for young Vera, Dixie experiences unique adventures accompanied by the overwhelming charm of jazz music, the true star of the film.
After saving the life of mob boss Dutch Shultz, young white trumpeter Dixie Dwyer finds himself the only non-African American musician working at the legendary Cotton Club, New York’s most famous jazz club in the late 1920s. With Richard Gere in the lead role and Tom Waits making a small cameo appearance as Irving Stark, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club (1984) takes the viewer on an exciting journey through the effervescent New York of the Roaring Twenties, a world of music, unbridled luxury and crime.
