Jazz music and the big screen have been in a committed relationship since the beginning of the sound film in 1927 (“The Jazz Singer”). This hour is filled with jazzy film music.
With Miles Davis, Raymond Scott (“the man who made cartoons swing”), Duke Ellington, excerpt from the renowned jazz documentary “Jammin’ the Blues’ (with Lester Young and the obscure Marie Bryant), music from “The Wild One” (“the father of motorbike films”) with Marlon Brando.
Also, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas and Harry James in “Young Man with a Horn”, Robert Altman’s musical reconstruction of Kansas City in the 1930s, Lee Morgan, Artie Shaw and Art Blakey.
