A testament to the popularity of Jazz in the 50’s. “The Subject Is Jazz”, a television series with smart programming and commentary on the subject of Jazz! Co-hosted by Billy Taylor and featuring some of the greatest players of the time. Well known giants like Lee Konitz and Cannonball sound fantastic as expected, but some real surprises as well. Check out a young Doc Severinsen on Billy Taylor’s tune in the first clip. Who knew?!:
