Jammin’ the Blues’ 80th Birthday

Is today. I had wanted to do an expanded post on this, and the strange circumstances under which it was made…. but this beautiful piece of cinema and jazz history premiered exactly eighty years ago today – November 9th 1944, at the Hollywood Theater, Hollywood in California.

In case you missed my earlier posts on the film, start here: Jammin’ Again – The Importance of Pinstripes
