Jazz: Chaos, Dreamy or Move You to Dance?
I see a very broad spectrum.

Thanks!

I watched Fallout when it first came out this Spring - looking forward to the 2nd season! 

Knew 'Fallout' originated from a game, but I'm not familiar with it.  Thought the music was mostly 40's-50's... kept expecting to hear Doris Day start singing "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)", but there was definitely a huge variety of music styles!  

 

I've really enjoyed films like "The Cotton Club", "Swing Kids", and "Chicago"!  Films about Glen Miller & also films with his band, like "Sun Valley Serenade" were great.  Saw "The Jazz Singer" many years ago, too.

I'd love some other film recommendations related to early Jazz - doesn't matter if they are historically accurate, if they are a good story that can deliver the feel of 1920's-30's music (I accept the flaws of Hollywood).

I haven't watched "La La Land", yet... 

 

 

Here's a trailer for "Swing Kids" (1993) - great film about the Swingjugend movement opposing Nazism in 1939 Germany.  Wonderful music & dancing! 

 

There's also a Korean film from 2018, also called "Swing Kids" - about POW's that learn great tap dance rhythms as a distraction, but it's also a protest for freedom.  (TRAILER)
