Mark Cantor is a walking encyclopedia of jazz stories from household legends to the obscure sideman. Narrating clips from his extensive private collection of historical films, he gives you all the colorful, personal details of jazz-era artists and a revealing portrait of American life. From saucy and up-tempo to heartbreaking and sentimental, jazz vocals afford a powerful range of artistic expression. See Billie Holiday sing, as well as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Nat "King" Cole, Dinah Washington, Billy Eckstine and many more.
