Jazz Goes to the Movies with Ann Hampton Callaway

This show explores the fascinating ways jazz and film have come together to tell stories. The playlist includes _“Taking a Chance on Love”_ from Vernon Duke’s Cabin in the Sky, “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” from Irving Berlin’s Follow the Fleet, _“This Time the Dream’s on Me,”_ from Harold Arlen’s Blues in the Night, and “As Time Goes By,” the Herman Hupfeld classic from Casablanca.

CALLAWAY ALSO PERFORMS JAZZ SONGS SHE HAS RECORDED FOR FILMS, including _“Come Rain or Come Shine”_ from The Good Shepherd, starring Robert DeNiro, “_The Nearness of You”_ from Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah, and “Pourquoi,” a song she wrote for the new film Blind, starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore.

 Jazz Goes to the Movies is mainly a celebration of the golden age of songwriters from the 30's and 40's who wrote love songs for the silver screen that gave people dreams when they needed them most. It’s a perfect time to celebrate…dreams and a sense of hope
