I'm pretty sure this film holds the record for excessive use of the word, "Negro".

Truly depressing comments here. Other than the dated terminology, the film is beautiful, perfect, and unquestionably correct. Any music historian will tell you that Black American musicians merged the soul and melody of blues with the compositional approach of classical music to create jazz in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There's no Beatles without BB King and there's no Benny Goodman without Scott Joplin or Jelly Roll Morton. Without the unique experience of being Black in America there would be no jazz and no rock n roll.
