Description

Just me again. I wanted to provide a very brief history of Jazz in film, starting with The Jazz Singer. Not much of a comedy episode, admittedly. As a side note, I use "era" when I mean "legacy" a few times.

Music Featured (in order)

Miles Davis - "Generique"

The Jazz Singer - "Toot, Toot, Tootsie!" (movie clip)

Louis Armstrong - "Hello Dolly"

Detective Conan OST - "Conan's Victory Theme"
