A series of definitive jazz films, mixing documentary with classic performances, which profile the seminal figures in jazz. Cab Calloway hosts a dazzling all-star jazz extravaganza, as he recalls the Soundies. These were the very first music videos, which were played on an astonishing video jukebox called the Panoram machine. Cab takes us inside the Panoram, and plays fabulous and often rare films of dozens of jazz's brightest stars.
