America's Music Film & Discussion: Swing Jazz April 10, 2013

UM Prof., Mark Clague, leads this screening and discussion session.

Episode 6 of Ken Burns' acclaimed 2001 series covers Swing jazz beginning in the late 1930s.

The award-winning 1986 documentary "International Sweethearts of Rhythm" tells the little-known story of a multi-racial all-women swing band that became a sensation in the 1940s.

America's Music has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor.
