Jammin' The Blues (1944)
Director:
Gjon MiliStars:
Lester Young, George 'Red' Callender, Harry EdisonThis Warner Bros. short is a jam session with several outstanding African-American jazz musicians, including Lester Young. Darkly lit and with a mood that matches the music, the film was groundbreaking in its day and was a showcase for then lesser-known musicians and entertainers who would not otherwise have had exposure to a much larger audience.
