Jean Bach, Producer: Jean Bach is a part of the jazz scene the film brings to life. She has been listening to and writing about jazz since the big band era, when she was a journalist in Chicago and later married to trumpet player Shorty Sherock whose band she managed. Active in television and radio for decades, Bach produced "The Arlene Francis Program," New York's top-rated and longest running talk show, for twenty-four years. A Great Day In Harlem stems from her life-long passion to bring the joy and brilliance of jazz to a broad audience.
