Even before the movies had soundtracks, they had music! Skilled local pianists provided emotional backdrop to the action onscreen and when technology added sound to the movies - well, we never looked back. Movie music has been a staple of American culture ever since! In a unique one-of-a-kind show, we’re teaming up with jazz historian, Professor John Benoit, who will be taking us through the story of jazz at the movies!
