Jazz on the screen : a jazz and blues filmography by David Meeker
-
Jazz on the Screen is a reference work of filmographic information and does not point to digitized versions of the items described. Jazz on the Screen reflects the opinions of its author, David Meeker, and not the views of the Library of Congress. This is the sixth corrected and expanded edition of a database attempting to document, in a purely factual manner and with a very minimum of editorial flourish, the work of some 1,000 major jazz and blues figures in what presently amounts to well over 20,000 cinema, television and video productions, whether the result of their involvement in these media is apparent on camera or is hidden, whether behind the scenes on soundtrack or perhaps deeper back into production, whether their resulting work is jazz or not. In other words, this is an attempt to achieve the impossible: a filmography of musicians’ screen work. It does not purport to contain any discographical information. It attempts to include not only active participation by an individual musician in visually recorded media, where he or she has actually contributed creatively to a production, but also those many instances where their pre-composed work has been used on soundtrack or where their image has been interpreted aurally or visually, with or without their collaboration, often posthumously and more often than not, previously uncredited.
