I took the time to watch the whole thing last night, and it was really amazing to see Papa Jo in dialogue in a movie. A real tear-jerker. Thanks for sharing this. I shared it on my FB, and always give you kudos as a content creator when I do so. What a touching film. Thanks, Bret. 🙏

I had just turned 4 when this aired, so didn't see it, but it's fascinating to watch now, at so many levels. Thank you so much!

I really appreciate you putting this out into the world for us to discover. Ethel Waters was multi talented performer and had amazing presence.

Thank you, Bret, for spreading the feeling of real jazz! Jo Jones and Roy Eldridge in particular had two appealing, expressive faces. I dare anyone

This is one of my all-time favorites, that happens to feature my musical favorites: Ms. Waters, Roy Eldridge, Papa Jo Jones and Coleman Hawkins. Juano Hernandez is also one of my all-time favorite actors, who I've seen and enjoyed in several movies produced by the legendary Oscar Micheaux, back in the 1920s and 1930s. Hernandez also plays in the movie, Young Man With A Horn, featuring Kurt Douglas.
