Jazz Before the Oscars: Part 2

Click the play button to listen

There has always been plenty of interplay between jazz and movies: jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway or Harry Connick, Jr. turned actors; or actors like Jeff Goldblum or Cybill Shepherd turned jazz musicians; jazz soundtracks for movie; or movies about jazz musicians...

However, in anticipation of Oscars Night, here we are focusing on songs inspired by or dedicated to movie stars.

Happy listening!
