Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

Ma Rainey’s nephew, Sylvester is brought to the studio by Ma to introduce her and the band on the record. Cutler feeds Sylvester some simple lines, but this is a harder task than he anticipated.

Scene is a reenactment of the brilliant performances by Dusan Brown (Slyvester), Michael Potts (Slow Drag), Glynn Turnman (Toledo), Colman Domingo (Cutler) and the late great Chadwick Boseman (Levee).
