Sinopsis(1)

As the Roaring Twenties accelerate, Paul Whiteman, a white bandleader, sells millions of records playing a sweet, symphonic jazz. Louis Armstrong comes to New York, adding his improvisational brilliance to the band's new sound – and soon Armstrong is showing the whole world how to swing. (PBS)
