Jazz on Film: A Night at the Cotton Club

Jazz on Film: A Night at the Cotton Club

Hosted by Loren Schoenberg

The Cotton Club played a major role during the 1920’s and 30’s, employing the best African-American artists of the era, while at the same time running a segregated audience policy. We’ll examine this complicated reality as we watch films of the great jazz bands that played there, including Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway.
