Based on the success of a series of Los Angeles jazz concerts, Warner Bros. produced the 20-minute film Jammin' the Blues to showcase musicians Lester Young, Harry Edison, Barney Kessel, Red Callender, and vocalist Marie Bryant. Concerts organizer Norman Granz assembled the musicians and the innovative Life magazine photographer Gjon Mili directed. Jazz musicians had never been filmed as they were in Jammin' the Blues.

Jammin' the Blues was added to the National Film Registry in 1995.

Tropes used in Jammin' the Blues include:
