Jazz. Episode 2, The gift

DVD 2010

Flappers, Prohibition, speakeasies, and the booming stock market-- the uproarious "Jazz Age"-- sets the tone for this episode, and the story of jazz becomes the story of two great cities, Chicago and New York, and of two extraordinary artists: Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
