Overview

Birth of the Blues (1941)

As a child, Jeff Lambert (Bing Crosby) hangs out in New Orleans' Basin Street, playing hot swing on his clarinet instead of the classics his father prefers. He's inspired by an African-American group there and, some years later, sets out to form a jazz band of his own. With cornetist Memphis (Brian Donlevy), singer Betty Lou Cobb (Mary Martin) and trombonist Jack Teagarden (of the Original Dixieland Jazz Group, after which the story is patterned), he's on his way.

Starring: Bing Crosby, Mary Martin (I), Brian Donlevy, Carolyn Lee, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson
Director: Victor Schertzinger
