streets.  Their heroes (Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Buddy
Bolden, Johnny Dodds, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, Kid Ory,

ART PEPPER--NOTES FROM A JAZZ SURVIVOR.
Copyright Collection
     Winter Moon Productions, 1982.
     Director/Producer: Don McGlynn; Editor: Lou Angelo;
     Photographer: Mark Salvaterra.
     48 mins., color, 3/4" videocassette.                VBC 9035
A documentary based on Pepper's heroin addiction and his fight to
regain status as a jazz musician.  This film, completed just before
the death of its subject (June 1982), allows Pepper to tell his own
story (along with his wife Laurie, the only other interviewee). 
McGlynn's directorial debut, it benefited greatly from the work
that went into Pepper's autobiography, Straight Life, published in
1979.  The use of voiceovers during the live performance material
enhances both words and music.  Features Carl Burnett, Milcho
Leviev and Bob Magnuson with the numbers "Mambo Koyama," "Miss
Who?," "Ophelia," "Our Song," "Patricia," "Red Car" and "True
Blue."

     Backus, Brigitte Berman; Camera: Jim Aquila, Mark Irwin.
     115 mins., color/black & white, 16mm.            FDA 9560-61
A Canadian documentary offering a full-length profile of Artie
Shaw, while taking a look back at the big band era.  After Shaw saw
Berman's earlier film on Bix Beiderbecke, he gave her permission
and long interviews while she retained editorial control.  The
result is not always flattering of its subject, yet while mixing
interviews and excerpts (from Dancing Co-Ed and Second Chorus,
among others), Berman captures the notoriety of Shaw's life and the
lesser-known intellectual and creative drive that set him apart. 
The film approaches Shaw's hiring of Billie Holiday in 1937, "the
first time a black singer sang with a white band and played the
South."  It also touches upon his psychological breakdown as a
serviceman entertaining the troops in the South Pacific during
World War II.  Marriages to Lana Turner and Ava Gardner are
observed and brushed off to emphasize an interview with the last of
his seven wives, Evelyn Keyes.  SEE ALSO Second Chorus.

Explores the music and personality of Duke Ellington by following
him on tour, from recording studios to hotels and concert halls. 
In many interviews, he discloses why he keeps an orchestra despite
its expensive payroll (so that he might hear his music immediately
after he composes it) and discusses his upbringing in Washington,
D.C. by the women in his family.  His first piano performance and
the ensuing adulation by girls caused him to delve into his music,
instead of athletics.  His association with Billy Strayhorn
provides his "arbiter, critic, and provider of security."
