City of a Million Dreams

About City of a Million Dreams

Every jazz funeral is a drama, a freeze-frame of the city. The marching band leads the procession of grief to the slow dirges, sorrow songs, and after burial the jazzmen kick into up tempo parade anthems, the soul’s “cutting loose” for the second line of dazzling street dancers.

City of a Million Dreams is a 2021 documentary film directed by Jason Berry. Dr. Michael White stars as Self, and Deborah Cotton as Self.

It was released in April 2021. Written by Jason Berry and Tim Watson.

In the United States it streams on PBS.
