An extraordinarily adept assemblage of film clips, rare recordings and archival footage from the late 50s-early 60s. RHAPSODY IN BLACK is a remarkable musical history of a time when these brilliant artists faced racism at home but were welcomed to Canada's airwaves by the fledgling CBC - and the results were magical. Hosted by Toronto Jazz singer, Molly Johnson now these 'buried treasures' can be enjoyed once more thanks to a digital transfer and restoration of the original kinescope recordings.
