  Very rarely are we fortunate enough to get an inside view into the earliest days of the great jazz tradition. This outstanding documentary by Preston McClanahan focuses on the life of bassist Chester Zardis - the 'last of the first' great African-American jazz pioneers a master of the bass and an important jazz innovator. Musicologists Bill Russell and Alan Lomax give a detailed analysis on the development of this magical and unique musical tradition.
