Jack Webb Double Feature part 2

Jack Webb had a lifelong love of dixie land jazz. After the success of Dragnet in 1951 he got the chance to bring jazz to the radio with the series Pete Kelly's Blues. Webb played a jazz trumpeter in the 1920s who traveles around the country playing jazz and getting involved in dangerous situations. This stylish show featured the writing of Joe Eisenberg and the music of Dick Kemp as well as a great performance by Jack Webb. A movie, starring Jack Webb, and a short-lived TV show grew out of this series. "When they ask you, tell them this one is about the blues...Pete Kelly's Blues." Pete Kelly's Blues August 29, 1951 Zelda
