A long lost production of Jazz Party hosted and created by Art Ford in 1958 on The Dumont Network. This is a incomplete episode of this rare Jazz show that was restored from a decomposing negative in my collection.
I still have to work on fixing the audio track, and its a shame this is the best quality that could be restored from a decomposing negative.
When I Googled the players in the Jazz Party show that day, I found that Harry Sheppard is 93 years old. I would love to locate him, so he can see this again. Any idea let me know?
