All That Jazz! Stories of Jazz On The Big Screen, From Our Exclusive Interview Archives

With two biopics of jazz icons hitting the screens – Don Cheadle’s Miles Ahead, exploring Miles Davis’ life and music, and Robert Budreau’s Born To Be Blue, a re-imagining of critical moments in Chet Baker’s tumultuous career, with Ethan Hawke as the jazz legend- this seemed like an appropriate time to look back at how movies expressed this all-American music style. Check the gallery to see what filmmakers and stars  – Golden Globe nominees and winners, most of them -told us about jazzin’ up the screen.
