I saw this film on its theatrical release, way back in '88/89, as a part of a run of late night movies on jazz themes, screened at the Cambridge Arts Cinema, as it was then known. I was completely enthralled and enchanted. Some films are intensely and self-consciously didactic, or analytical, or escapist, romantic, challenging, soothing or whatever... This film seems to be a wonderfully un-self-conscious mixture of biography, homage, celebration, voyeurism and more besides, all delivered with a dream like whimsy, and an artistic eye for bleak, melancholy beauty. The music is fabulous, both old and new, the performance footage revealing and entertaining, and the panoply of talking heads have a lot of interesting things to say.

I bought this dvd a year ago and my brother 'stole' it from me. To no suprise I bought a second one and my friend made it 'disappear'(with my blessing of course). Yes I'm buying it for the third time in less than 24 months. This alone should tell you how good the music is on this dvd. Buy it even if you do not like jazz, you will not regret it.

One or two good tracks musically; the Ellington track stands out for me and some surprises too but generally a patchy selection.
Lena Horne is shown singing a gutsy blues in her salad days but there are far too many female vocalists who are neither easy on the eye or ear.
Dancers on display include Cyd Charisse who struts her stuff to an unnamed Latin band in a manner that would disgrace Strictly Come Dancing.
There's also a lot of lindyhopping bobbysoxers.
No remastering, so sound and picture quality could have been much better. Even the few good tracks were let down by being poorly edited, prematurely faded out etc.
But there ARE enough gems to be discovered, that Teagarden footage must be rare enough to justify checking it ... Read More:

In my opinion, this is the perfect movie. The photography is amazing thanks to Bert Stern being a stills man first of all, and a film maker second. His work shows the best of both worlds. The music is so fantastic that the audience actually listens to it!!!! A bit of a novelty nowadays. Mind you, I'm still wondering what Chuck Berry was doing there. Still he was fun!
I can't work out whether Mahalia Jackson or Chico Hamilton stole the show, but you could literally hear a pin drop during their performances, the audience was so entranced. I would put them equal first.
Watch it, listen to it, and make up your own mind. If you like wonderful music played with skill, love and talent, this is the DVD for you
