Summary:
"Bing Crosby welcomes in the era of a new kind of music in Birth of the Blues. As a child, Jeff Lambert (Crosby) hangs out in New Orleans' Basin Street, playing hot swing on his clarinet instead of the classics his father prefers. He's inspired by an African-American group there and, some years later, sets out to form a jazz band of his own. With cornetist Memphis (Brian Donlevy), singer Betty Lou Cobb (
Mary
Martin
) and trombonist Jack Teagarden (of the Original Dixieland Jazz Group, after which the story is patterned), he's on his way. A veritable history of jazz follows as a half a century of popular hits is given spectacular treatment showcasing songs such as By the Light of the Silvery Moon, St. Louis Blues and Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie."--Container.
