George Melly & Slim Gaillard - Part 2 - Jazz Juke Box

George Melly's interview with Slim Gaillard. Jazz Juke Box - Arena - 1983.
George Melly presents a number of short films made in the 1940's of some of the greatest and most popular jazz artists of the era, including Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Bessie Smith, Mead Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons, and Pete Johnson. Some of the footage originates from "soundies" films made for visual jukeboxes and the precursors of the pop promotional video.

Slim Gaillard, you always bring a smile to my face...such warmth and a hint of mischief. And some musician, too!
