Radio Jazz studievært Niels Wamberg fortæller historien om den amerikanske komponist Jerome Kern (1885-1945). Kern skrev musik, der senere blev til evergreens f. eks. »Old Man River« og »All The Things You Are«.

Han var fra sit 35. år utrolig produktiv og skrev således hvert år en musical, og i mange år havde han et tæt samarbejde med sangskriveren Oscar Hammerstein II. Det førte bl.a. til musicalen »Showboat«.
