Review

The story of the birth of jazz, seen through the eyes of a New Orleans nightclub owner, Nick Duquenes and his debutante admirer, a "serious" singer. The movie has a fantastic soundtrack that consists of many Louis Armstrong numbers and three Billy Holiday songs, including the sensuous title number. The film tracks ragtime jazz from its beginnings as an underground phenomena to the stage at Carnegie Hall. The film is a must for any jazz buff, and for Billy Holiday fans it's essential. Musical numbers include Holliday ("Farewell to Storyville" and "New Orleans") and Armstrong ("Endie" and "Where the Blues Were Born").
