JIVIN' IN BE-BOP. 1946 Dizzy Gillespie Jazz Film. Uncut

This 1946 film features Dizzy with Freddy Carter, Milt Jackson, Ray Brown, James Moody and Helen Humes. Add to that one of the sexiest dancers ever captured on film Sahji and you have a jazz lovers dream and a low budget classic of ''40s black cinema.

Highly entertaining. Somehow, I still can't believe I have the opportunity to watch this. This type of stuff is the prmary value of KZbin.

great big band, showed you could play bebop in this setting, not just swing. Financial challenges kept him from keeping it going
