On 13 February 2001, Black and Tan Fantasy was reissued by Kino International in the DVD collection The Best of Jazz and Blues (Hollywood Rhythm Volume 1).

Duke Ellington plays hot jazz in a fictional story that finds him down on his luck; he tries in vain to dissuade his friend, dancer Fredi Washington, from working with heart trouble even though it means work for his band. Sure enough, she collapses on stage.
