This story is about the amazing fate of African American Frederick Bruce Thomas (1872-1928), born into a family of former slaves and in the 1890s moved to Europe, first to England, then to France, and a little later to Moscow, where he becomes a prominent figure in theatrical and restaurant life, a millionaire, a subject of the Russian Empire and a witness to revolutionary changes. Having fled from the Bolsheviks to Constantinople, he is trying to start all over again and will be called "the Sultan of Jazz" there... Thomas's biography reads like an exciting novel, but is entirely based on documentary evidence drawn from American, Russian, Turkish, as well as French and English archives and the press.
