Jazz Record Collectors’ Bash

Rare film and TV clips by jazz collector and film historian David Weiner, followed by a half hour presentation of rare Vitaphone and Hal Roach musical shorts. It’s a salute to our dear late friend and colleague Ron Hutchinson for his great pioneering work with the Vitaphone Project, discovering and restoring lost films of the 1920s and 30s.
