Synopsis

Rhapsody in Jazz is an exhilarating journey through one of the most transformative periods in history, the 1920s and 1930s. Set against the backdrop of a post-World War I world hungry for change, this series dives deep into the heart of the Jazz Age—a time when jazz music, flappers, speakeasies, and the clash of traditional and modern values defined an entire generation. In Rhapsody in Jazz, viewers are transported to the bustling streets of Harlem, the smoky jazz clubs of Chicago, the glamorous parties of the French Riviera, and the gritty back alleys of prohibition-era America. Each episode weaves together the stories of musicians, artists, writers, and everyday people whose lives were intertwined with the pulse of jazz. From Louis Armstrong's revolutionary trumpet solos to Josephine Baker's electrifying performances in Paris, the series captures the spirit of innovation and rebellion that characterized the era. It explores the racial tensions of the time, the rise of the Harlem Renaissance, the birth of swing, and the impact of jazz on fashion, dance, and the arts.
