We really did enjoy Lullaby of Harlem. It was well put together, with a narrator linking up the various excerpts from the Cotton Club.
The jiving etc was great to watch - recommend this to anyone who loves Ellington/Basie/Armstrong etc. swingtime music. Thelma Middleton was quite something to watch! The hour went so quickly - was sorry when it came to an end!
