Giants of Jazz on Film with Mark Cantor
Jazz critics and historians have long ignored the contributions women have made to jazz. Still, there remains a limited but impressive film archive of female jazz musicians through the years. Join us for this evening of live music and dancing, as well as film clips from many of the music’s female heavyweights including Mary Lou Williams, Marian McPartland, Vi Redd, Mary Osborne, Lady Will Carr, The International Sweethearts of Rhythm 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.”
