Rating:  - one of the best young indy movies!
this is a very good indy story, and it even has a special appearance by harrison ford. the movie is the story he tells to an indian guy about when he learned to play the saxophone. a good story with a part about jazz where indy joins up with sydney bechet. the other part is for the action and mystery lovers, indy and his friends try to break up al capone's illegal booze ring.

In this movie, Indy finally begins college after having been away in europe fighting in the war. Whilst working as a waiter to pay for his ... Read More
Rating: - Great Music
A previous reviewer commented that there is not a lot of action in this particular episode. This is true, but as someone who enjoys music, and jass in particular, this was one of the most enjoyable two hours I've ever spent watching televion. I've been waiting for this to come to video since it first aired some 5 or 6 years ago.
As with the rest of the YIJ series, the period sets are amazing, and the historical detail wonderful. The insight into music of the period was facinating. This ... Read More
