Excellent documentary on the Jazz era in Paris during WWII and the post war years. Not much else to say other than if you get a chance to watch it, do it. The PBS site has some information on the segment, and there is a book that covers the material. Lots of good footage and information about the players of the age, too. Can you ever get enough? Not me.
The band assembled to play the tunes during parts of the show were really hot too. I don’t know if there’s a soundtrack available, but I haven’t seen it on the PBS site or Amazon.
The end credits listed the band but they flew by so fast, most folks couldn’t pick them up. Of course, someone captured it, as the PBS site has nothing on them, even though a lot of folks complained and inquired about the players. Well, here’s screenshot offerred to fill the gap from another fan. Apologies to PBS, but just offering a public service. (If they object, I’ll remove the image.)
