Last of the Blue Devils, The

Synopsis: Jazz documentary covering everything from the Basie big-band sound to Kansas City Jazz and blues and the rock and roll that brought attention to Big Joe Turner ("Shake, Rattle and Roll") in the '50's. The talk also transforms a movie about music into a movie about time, about it's passage and about the way, through art, it can be made to stand still. A musical delight.

“Don't miss The Last of the Blue Devils. It's classic... a kaleidoscope of rich and rhythmic humanity... This beautiful film is about life and jazz and how they interact.”~Jack Kroll, Newsweek
