Michael Feinstein's American Songbook S01 E03 A New Step Every Day (1920s–1930s)

Overview

In the fast and furious 1920s and 1930s, jazz was hot, credit was loose, and illegal booze flowed freely in underground speakeasies. Between performances, Feinstein illustrates the impact of talking pictures, the dawn of radio, and the fledgling recording industry. Additionally, it introduces viewers to other collectors and musicians who keep the spirit of the Jazz Age alive today.
