One amazing night in 1972, the greats of swing - Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Bennie Goodman - came together at New York's Philharmonic Hall for a jazz blowout. Joined by Dizzy Gillespie, hosted by Doc Severinson (then in his glory years at the helm of NBC's 'Tonight Show' band), these jazz pioneers reveled in the numbers with which they had changed the face of popular music more than thirty years before. And the whole thing was captured, before an enthusiastic Lincoln Center audience, in this astonishing film. Ella and the Count duetting on the Gershwin classic 'Lady Be Good'; Duke's 'It Don't Mean a Thing'; the fabled Goodman Quartet - in its only televised appearance! - on three astonishing numbers; the whole ensemble wailing on 'One O'Clock Jump'...Those and other unforgettable moments make this program one to be treasured, by jazz fans and lovers of classic Americana alike.
