Abstract

This paper discusses the reasons for sending the pianist, composer and conductor of the Radio Ljubljana Dance Orchestra, Bojan Adamič (1912–1995), to Tirana in 1947. He insisted that this deployment was a penal decree caused by his creation and recreation of American-oriented jazz music, which was understood as disobedience by the socialist authorities. That he was sent to Tirana on penal grounds can neither be proved nor denied on the basis of archival documents. There may well have been a verbal decree behind it.
