Jazz on a Beam of Light

Classic film scholar and musical hepcat Michael van den Bos is your host for a rhythmic retrospective revue of all that jazz in the movies. From the hot ‘n’ swinging to the cool ‘n’ mellow, Michael takes you on a jump ‘n’ jive journey through the various styles and representations of jazz on film.

Featuring vintage performance movie clips by some of the most important names in jazz history covering Louis Armstrong to Fats Waller with so much more in-between and all projected on the big screen! In the lively lingo of Cab Calloway, you’ll… “reap this righteous riff, bop bop!”
