Forgotten Footage

Charlie Parker (alto sax), and Coleman Hawkins (tenor sax) backed by Hank Jones (piano) Ray Brown (bass), and Buddy Rich (drums) perform together during a 1950 studio sequence.

This performance was filmed by Norman Granz to be used in a sequel to his 1944 jazz film "Jammin' the Blues." The film was never produced but fifteen precious minuets survived. Granz was the a jazz impresario and producer who organized the first the "Jazz at the Philharmonic" concert at the Philharmonic Auditorium in Los Angeles on $300.00 of borrowed money.
