In Nazi-occupied Europe, gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt blends jazz with his own musical traditions. In New York Billie Holiday is unofficial queen despite a growing addiction to narcotics. Duke Ellington, assisted by the gifted young arranger, Billy Strayhorn, brings his music to ever-greater heights. After dark a small underground of gifted young musicians led by the trumpet virtuoso Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonists Charlie Parker and Ben Webster begin to develop a new fast and intricate way of playing, developing a new music called bebop. Meanwhile in 1945, black soldiers return home to the same racism they fought against, and a growing unrest sets the seeds for future rebellions. 538 $a DVD. 600 10 $a Ellington, Duke, $d 1899-1974 $x Biography. 600 10 $a Parker, Charlie, $d 1920-1955 $x Biography. 600 10 $a Gillespie, Dizzy, $d 1917- $x Biography. 600 10 $a Shaw, Artie, $d 1910- $x Biography. 600 10 $a Miller, Glenn, $d 1904-1944 $x Biography. 600 10 $a Brubeck, Dave $x Biography. 600 10 $a Webster, Ben $x Biography. 600 10 $a Strayhorn, Billy $x Biography. 600 10 $a Reinhardt, Django, $d 1910-1953 $x Biography. 600 10 $a Holiday, Billie, $d 1915-1959 $x Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x African Americans. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945. $v Songs and music. 650 0 $a Jazz $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $x Biography. 650 0 $a African American musicians $z United States $x Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Music 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Swing (Music) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Bop (Music) $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Burns, Ken, $d 1953- 700 1 $a David, Keith. 700 1 $a Ward, Geoffrey C. 700 1 $a Marsalis, Wynton, $d 1961- 700 1 $a Sherrill, Joya, $d 1927- 700 1 $a Murray, Albert. 700 1 $a Crouch, Stanley. 700 1 $a Giddins, Gary. 700 1 $a Ellington, Mercedes. 700 1 $a Hinton, Milt. 700 1 $a Sanders, John, $d 1925- 700 1 $a Levy, Stan 700 1 $a Rowles, Jimmy. 700 1 $a Shaw, Arvell. 710 2 $a Florentine Films. 710 2 $a WETA-TV (Television station : Washington, D.C.). 710 2 $a PBS DVD (Firm) 939 $a 4296729 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=882167282AFD11DE9D8A7A07A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b IOK 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
