Life is Difficult, Intricate, and Marvelous!

THE GOLDEN STRIP (JAZZ DOCUMENTARY)
“THE CRYSTAL GARDENS” (aka “The Crystal Bar”) was located at 1935 W. Columbia Avenue, Philadelphia PA., in the mid-1950s, it became “THE WEB BAR.”
"THE GOLDEN STRIP" is a must for the Jazz lover. The documentary is a passionate journey along Columbia Avenue, the great Philadelphia jazz center of the forties, fifties, and early nineteen sixties. During this period, The Golden Strip, or Cecil B. Moore Avenue, known today, was a Mecca for Jazz Musicians. Oh! That's the legendary Philly Jazz Saxman, Jimmy Oliver in the video, and the Swing'N guy in the Jazz Club Photo is my big brother, and first trumpet teacher, Albert Logie Brown. The captivating Jazz Vocalist is Ms. Ella Gahnt. Take care, and ENJOY JAZZ! Sincerely yours, The Golden Strip, Written, Produced, and Directed by Cullen Knight
