Back in the 30`s and 40`s, Seattle`s vibrant jazz scene rocked Jackson Street at clubs like the Black and Tan and The Rocking Chair. Jackson Street: A Tale of Two Dads reaches back into that heyday through two different perspectives-music and photography. Pianist/musician Oscar Holden raised two children, Dave and Grace, who couldn`t walk around their musical home "without running into a note". Al Smith Jr.`s father Al Smith Sr. would hit the clubs every weekend with his press style camera and capture the moments of "pure glee" from the patrons and performers alike.
