Slim Gaillard's Civilisation (2): How High the Moon (1989x16)

Fecha de emisión: Oct 29, 1989

In 1938 jazz legend and international star Slim Gaillard went to Hollywood to appear in 'Hellzapoppin'' - and then war broke out. Gaillard became one of America's first black bomber pilots; this week he recalls that profound and traumatic experience. With the help of Van Morrison he re-enacts a famous encounter with his beat disciple, novelist Jack Kerouac; he settles an old score with Little Richard; appears on America's craziest chat show; and meets the peanut that went to the moon.
