The Jazz Singer (1927) continues my April movies
celebrating Jazz and Blues Appreciation Month. The
Jazz Singer is a legendary movie and "first talkie" that
everyone should see at least once (or so many critics
say). It is listed on the National Film Registry and
features one of the American Film Institute's list of
greatest movie quotes: "Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You ain't heard nothin' yet!"
