With the acquisition of more than 200 hours
of filmed jazz performances, MacDonald & Associates has
realized a major expansion in its popular music holdings.
These sound films range from the 1920s to the 1970s. The
addition makes the archive a leading commercial repository of
historic musical film.
The MacDonald jazz holdings extend from
Bessie Smith in St. Louis Blues (1929), Chick Webb in After
Sebben (1930), and James P. Johnson's African-American
tone poem, Yamekraw (1930), to classics of the Swing
Era and Modern Jazz. The films include performances by
musical legends such as Sidney Bechet, Django Reinhardt,
Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Don Redman,
Artie Shaw, Coleman Hawkins, Woody Herman, Charlie Barnet,
Stan Kenton, Stephane Grappelli, Benny Goodman, Bob Crosby,
Dizzy Gillispie, Harry James, Count Basie, and Hazel Scott.
Also present are films of Jack Teagarden,
Erskine Hawkins, Nat King Cole Trio, Louis Prima, Louis
Jordan, Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Cootie Williams, Lester
Young, Kid Ory, Buddy DeFranco, Chico Hamilton, Chick Corea,
Herbie Hancock, Sarah Vaughan, Teddy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald,
Lucky Millinder, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Mingus, The Mills
Brothers, Fats Waller, Lena Horne, The Martha Davis Trio,
Billy Eckstine, Bunny Berrigan, and Bob Howard.
Among the titles is a large number of jazz
TV series.
These include such programs as Jazz
Scene USA (with Shelly Manne, Cal Tjader, The Jazz
Crusaders, Stan Kenton, Shorty Rogers, Cannonball Adderly,
