With her help, Jack eventually gets his big break: a leading part in the new musical April Follies. Back at the family home Jack left long ago, the elder Rabinowitz instructs a young student in the traditional cantorial art.
Jack appears and tries to explain his point of view, and his love of modern music, but the appalled cantor banishes him: "I never want to see you again—you jazz singer!
Some day you'll understand, the same as Mama does. Two weeks after Jack's expulsion from the family home and 24 hours before opening night of April Follies on Broadway, Jack's father falls gravely ill.
Jack is asked to choose between the show and duty to his family and faith: in order to sing the Kol Nidre for Yom Kippur in his father's place, he will have to miss the big premiere.
If he would only sing like that tonight—surely he would be forgiven. As Jack prepares for a dress rehearsal by applying blackface makeup, he and Mary discuss his career aspirations and the family pressures they agree he must resist.
Sara and Yudleson come to Jack's dressing room to plea for him to come to his father and sing in his stead.
Jack is torn. She has a tearful revelation: "Here he belongs. If God wanted him in His house, He would have kept him there.
He's not my boy anymore—he belongs to the whole world now. Afterward, Jack returns to the Rabinowitz home. He kneels at his father's bedside and the two converse fondly: "My son—I love you.
Mary arrives with the producer, who warns Jack that he'll never work on Broadway again if he fails to appear on opening night.
Jack can't decide. Mary challenges him: "Were you lying when you said your career came before everything?
At the theater, the opening night audience is told that there will be no performance. Jack sings the Kol Nidre in his father's place.
His father listens from his deathbed to the nearby ceremony and speaks his last, forgiving words: "Mama, we have our son again. Mary has come to listen.
She sees how Jack has reconciled the division in his soul: "a jazz singer—singing to his God. In the front row of the packed theater, his mother sits alongside Yudleson.
Jack, in blackface, performs the song " My Mammy " for her and for the world. The star of the show was a thirty-year-old singer, Al Jolson , a Russian-born Jew who performed in blackface.
A few years later, pursuing a professional literary career, Raphaelson wrote "The Day of Atonement", a short story about a young Jew named Jakie Rabinowitz, based on Jolson's real life.
The story was published in January in Everybody's Magazine. A straight drama, all the singing in Raphaelson's version takes place offstage.
But the plans to make the film with Jessel would fall through, for multiple reasons. Jessel's contract with Warner Bros.
When Warners had hits with two Vitaphone , though dialogue-less, features in late , The Jazz Singer production had been reconceived.
According to Jessel's description in his autobiography, Harry Warner "was having a tough time with the financing of the company He talked about taking care of me if the picture was a success.
I did not feel that was enough. According to Jessel, a first read of screenwriter Alfred A. Cohn 's adaptation "threw me into a fit.
Instead of the boy's leaving the theatre and following the traditions of his father by singing in the synagogue, as in the play, the picture scenario had him return to the Winter Garden as a blackface comedian, with his mother wildly applauding in the box.
I raised hell. Money or no money, I would not do this. According to performer Eddie Cantor , as negotiations between Warner Bros.
Warner and the studio's production chief, Darryl Zanuck , called to see if he was interested in the part. Cantor, a friend of Jessel's, responded that he was sure any differences with the actor could be worked out and offered his assistance.
Describing Jolson as the production's best choice for its star, film historian Donald Crafton wrote, "The entertainer, who sang jazzed-up minstrel numbers in blackface, was at the height of his phenomenal popularity.
Anticipating the later stardom of crooners and rock stars, Jolson electrified audiences with the vitality and sex appeal of his songs and gestures, which owed much to African-American sources.
Carringer, "Jessel was a vaudeville comedian and master of ceremonies with one successful play and one modestly successful film to his credit.
Jolson was a superstar. In his autobiography, Jessel wrote that, in the end, Jolson "must not be blamed, as the Warners had definitely decided that I was out.
While many earlier sound films had dialogue, all were short subjects. Griffith 's feature Dream Street was shown in New York with a single singing sequence and crowd noises, using the sound-on-disc system Photokinema.
The film was preceded by a program of sound shorts, including a sequence with Griffith speaking directly to the audience, but the feature itself had no talking scenes.
The first Warner Bros. The Jazz Singer contains those, as well as numerous synchronized singing sequences and some synchronized speech: Two popular tunes are performed by the young Jakie Rabinowitz, the future Jazz Singer; his father, a cantor, performs the devotional Kol Nidre ; the famous cantor Yossele Rosenblatt , appearing as himself, sings an excerpt of another religious melody, Kaddish , and the song "Yahrzeit Licht".
Jolson's first vocal performance, about fifteen minutes into the picture, is of "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face," with music by James V.
Monaco and lyrics by Edgar Leslie and Grant Clarke. The first synchronized speech, uttered by Jack to a cabaret crowd and to the piano player in the band that accompanies him, occurs directly after that performance, beginning at the mark of the film.
Jack's first spoken words—"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothin' yet"—were well-established stage patter of Jolson's.
In November , during a gala concert celebrating the end of World War I, Jolson ran onstage amid the applause for the preceding performer, the great operatic tenor Enrico Caruso , and exclaimed, "Folks, you ain't heard nothin' yet.
In total, the movie contains barely two minutes' worth of synchronized talking, much or all of it improvised. While Jolson was touring with a stage show during June , production on The Jazz Singer began with the shooting of exterior scenes by the second unit.
Jolson joined the production in mid-July his contract specified July Filming with Jolson began with his silent scenes; the more complex Vitaphone sequences were primarily done in late August.
The premiere was set for October 6, , at Warner Bros. In keeping with the film's theme of a conflict within a Jewish family, the film premiered after sunset on the eve of the Yom Kippur holiday.
Besides Warner Bros. Each of Jolson's musical numbers was mounted on a separate reel with a separate accompanying sound disc.
Even though the film was only eighty-nine minutes long The least stumble, hesitation, or human error would result in public and financial humiliation for the company.
None of the four Warner brothers [32] were able to attend: Sam Warner —among them, the strongest advocate for Vitaphone—had died the previous day of pneumonia, and the surviving brothers had returned to California for his funeral.
According to Doris Warner, who was in attendance, about halfway through the film she began to feel that something exceptional was taking place. Suddenly, Jolson's face appeared in big close-up, and said "Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain't heard nothing yet!
Applause followed each of his songs. Excitement built, and when Jolson and Eugenie Besserer began their dialogue scene, "the audience became hysterical.
He described the spoken dialogue scene between Jolson and Besserer as "fraught with tremendous significance I for one suddenly realized that the end of the silent drama is in sight".
Critical reaction was generally, though far from universally, positive. The Vitaphoned songs and some dialogue have been introduced most adroitly.
This in itself is an ambitious move, for in the expression of song the Vitaphone vitalizes the production enormously. The dialogue is not so effective, for it does not always catch the nuances of speech or inflections of the voice so that one is not aware of the mechanical features.
Variety called it "[u]ndoubtedly the best thing Vitaphone has ever put on the screen It should be more properly labeled an enlarged Vitaphone record of Al Jolson in half a dozen songs.
Without his Broadway reputation he wouldn't rate as a minor player. The film developed into a major hit, demonstrating the profit potential of feature-length " talkies ", but Donald Crafton has shown that the reputation the film later acquired for being one of Hollywood's most enormous successes to date was inflated.
The movie did well, but not astonishingly so, in the major cities where it was first released, garnering much of its impressive profits with long, steady runs in population centers large and small all around the country.
As conversion of movie theaters to sound was still in its early stages, the film actually arrived at many of those secondary venues in a silent version.
On the other hand, Crafton's statement that The Jazz Singer "was in a distinct second or third tier of attractions compared to the most popular films of the day and even other Vitaphone talkies" is also incorrect.

He cultivated an unusual and idiosyncratic vocal style in the 60s, defined by yodeling and tremulous ululations.
Though he recorded first with Count Basie, Thomas is best known for his work with Pharoah Sanders, and also recorded with Santana.
His exciting soul-jazz style has reinvigorated the world of jazz vocalists. A vocal gymnast from Milwaukee who gave up practicing psychology for music, Jarreau was one of those jazz singers who could improvise like a horn player and used his voice to make an array of percussive sounds.
A virtuoso pianist with a mellow, seductive set of pipes, this Washington, DC-born singer was a graduate of Howard University who led her own jazz trio from the age of Her career gained considerable attention when Miles Davis, in an rare act of generosity to a fellow musician, singled her out for praise in His hallmark was doing vocalese versions of instrumental jazz classics, scatting and improvising with his voice like a horn player.
Blind from birth, Mississippi-born Al Hibbler impressed with a resonant yet smooth, caramel-coated baritone. Hibbler started recording as a solo artist from and scored a No.

A gifted singer-songwriter and occasional actress from Chicago, Lincoln born Anna Marie Wooldridge possessed a gorgeous, full-bodied voice that was also very versatile, and was comfortable in both straight-ahead, bop-influenced jazz and more avant-garde-oriented music.
Leider believed that Diamond could have the same crossover appeal as fellow singers Elvis Presley and Barbra Streisand , the latter of whom had recently starred in the successful remake of A Star is Born.
Encouraged by the success of the remake, Leider decided to remake The Jazz Singer. However, an entire year would have to pass before rights to the remake could be figured out, as both Warner Bros.
In the fall of , MGM put the remake in development, with principal photography planned to begin in the fall of However, in September , the studio dropped the remake, over "executives being anxious about the movie being 'too Jewish'", according to writer Stephen H.
Associated Film Distribution picked up the rights, and slated the film to begin photography again in May with Sidney J. Furie directing.
However, in early , Diamond underwent back surgery, and invoked a clause in his contract that allowed him to finish the original music before filming began.
During this time, the studio and Leider did consider replacing Diamond with Barry Manilow , though ultimately decided against it. Meanwhile, Jacqueline Bisset was approached for the lead female role, but asked for too much money.
Furie initially wanted Lucie Arnaz , but she was appearing on Broadway in They're Playing Our Song ; Deborah Raffin was cast instead, after producers had seen her on a television film.
Filming was finally able to commence on January 7, , though problems immediately started again. Diamond — who was making his acting debut — struggled in his transition from performing to acting.
To compensate, Furie — who had wanted to change the script from the beginning — ordered several major rewrites. These rewrites led to creative differences between Furie and Foreman, and the latter departed to be replaced by Herbert Baker.
Baker completely rewrote the script with a different ending, dramatically changing the character of Molly Bell in the process.
Due to these changes, Raffin departed the project, and Furie was able to cast Arnaz, who talked to Raffin before taking the role. Richard Fleischer replaced Furie by the end of March, and filming was able to wrap on April According to Arnaz, Diamond was nervous about his acting debut, and would become irritable when he could not do a scene; the directors handled this situation very differently.
Whereas Furie — who, along with other crew members, was intimidated by Diamond's status as a successful musician — would have the script rewritten to tailor to Diamond, Fleischer would calm Diamond down and work with him on the scene.
Lew Grade , who invested in the film, said the box-office "results were disappointing and we weren't able to recoup our prints and advertising costs".
Also, the soundtrack album was very successful and made more money than the film. The irony of the film is that whilst Diamond's performance of a Jew trying to be black is arguably intended to be humorous and he was indeed Jewish he sits uncomfortably next to Olivier's overly stereotyped Jewish father, and if anything Diamonds underplaying of the Jewish angle further emphasises this.
It is one of the low points in Olivier's otherwise stunning career. To this end it is impossible to decide if the film is intended to be a comedy, a drama, a musical or something else.
The remake received a predominance of negative reviews from critics, although some were positive. On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 37 out of , based on 8 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times , awarding it one star out of four, wrote that the remake "has so many things wrong with it that a review threatens to become a list".
As for Diamond, he performs his ballads well enough. His major problem, however, is a script that forces him to do some very foolish things—such as segue from a bar mitzvah melody into a pop romance ditty; impersonate a washed-out Willie Nelson on a month of lost weekend drunken binges; and sing a closing production number that he wrote that includes a refrain from "America" " My Country Tis of Thee.
That song points up an interesting development in the history of "The Jazz Singer. But 55 years later, when America's ethnic groups are rediscovering their traditions, we don't accept Jess' career move as easily.
Frankly, we see his religious tradition as having much more value than the plastic Hollywood pop music world he yearns to inhabit.
Jolson wanted to sing jazz. In other words, at the movie's end when we see old cantor Olivier capitulate and applaud his son in concert, we feel like saying, "Hey, cantor, haven't you got anything better to do than go to a Neil Diamond concert?
Diamond, looking glum and seldom making eye contact with anyone, isn't enough of a focus for the outmoded story". He wrote that "Richard Fleischer's direction is appropriately close-in and small, and Diamond himself, while no actor, proves to be a commandingly intense, brooding presence".
The only other times an actor was nominated for both awards for the same performance was Pia Zadora and James Coco in , with the former uniquely winning both.
The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:. Diamond's accompanying soundtrack was released on November 10, , by Capitol Records.
