The Golden Age of Television was marked by early cinematic efforts that often illustrated how this art form was in its infancy from both technical and creative perspectives. However, the soundtracks of these early programs were often more cerebral than the dialog. In particular, crime, thrills, and comedy were often punctuated by swingin' jazz. In this hour we'll take a listen to more of the sound of jazz in television.
