Giants of Jazz on Film with Mark Cantor
From its beginning early in the twentieth century, jazz was meant as a music for dancing. Whether in bars and honky-tonks, dance halls or theater stages, jazz dance – tap and Lindy Hop – have been an essential part of the music we love. Join us for an evening of live jazz dance and dance on film. See rare performance films of legends like Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, “Peg Leg” Bates, Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis, Jr., Toy & Wing and more. We’re jazzing up our Giants of Jazz program – Kanbar Hall will have jazz club-style seating and a dance floor, so come cut a rug with us!
Los Angeles music maven Mark Cantor’s spectacular collection of jazz and blues performances – an archive of more than 12,000 films and clip – is widely considered one of the world’s premier collections of American popular music on film. For more information, visit https://www.jazz-on-film.com.
“Mark Cantor has one of the very best collections of jazz films in the world.”
