|| About the Collection ||
This searchable filmography by David Meeker documents the work of some 1,000 major jazz and blues figures in over 14,000 cinema, television and video productions, whether their involvement in these media is apparent on camera or is hidden, whether it is behind the scenes on the soundtrack or a deeper part of the production, or whether their resulting work is jazz or not.
