Jivin' in Be-Bop

Black Heritage - (1946) 58 min.

Dizzie Gillespie and his musical friends have a ball. Well-crafted hour full of solid entertainment with singers, instrumentalists, dancers both male and female, even comedy. Add to that getting to see such performers as Milt Jackson, Ray Brown, Benny Carter and Gillespie himself, along with many more, in what amounts to a front-row seat for a very cool variety show, photographed intelligently and orchestrated to please. Includes Salt Peanuts and Night in Tsunisia
