The 15 Best Movies About Jazz and Jazz Musicians, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Jazz was a ragtime dance music popularized in the early 20th century. Think flappers, live orchestras, and prohibited champagne. This rhythmic and bluesy genre—that got Americans of the Roaring Twenties bopping—forged an iconic legacy built on elements of improvisation, scat singing, and trumpet solos. While people today look down on jazz as boring and lacking in structure and modernity, these incredible films about jazz and jazz musicians will have you appreciating the genre like never before." - whatnerd.com
