Mark Cantor is a walking encyclopedia of jazz stories – from household legends to the obscure sideman. Narrating clips from his extensive private collection of historical films, he gives you all the colorful, personal details of jazz-era artists and a revealing portrait of American life. The Great Jazz Singers From saucy and up-tempo to heartbreaking and sentimental, jazz vocals afford a powerful range of artistic expression. See Billie Holiday sing, as well as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Nat “King” Cole, Dinah Washington, Billy Eckstine and many more.
