Over six years in the making, JAZZ is the definitive film history of the music from its roots in the early nineteenth century through to today. Immaculately researched, it features literally hundreds of rare and classic recordings and live performances from a century of jazz music, supported by exclusive interviews and rare or never been seen before film clips and still photographs. Armstrong, Ellington, Basie, Goodman, Brubeck, Davis - all the big names are here but so too are dozens of less well known artists whose talent and creativity helped to shape the course of a true musical revolution.
