Tonight, through the magic of rare 16mm sound film, Jazz Film archivist Mark Cantor will authentically recreate the music, song, dance and ambiance of Harlem’s famed Cotton Club. This fascinating program features the orchestras of Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong; the dancing of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Stump and Stumpy and the Nicholaus brothers; the singing of Ethel Waters, Lena Horne and Billie Holiday; and the many other musical performers, novelty acts and chorus line productions that made the Cotton Club famous throughout the world. This is a very rare program, one not to be missed.
