"Jazz on a Summer's Day"
For you fans of jazz and "Trad", make sure you watch this movie, which was made at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. It has some excellent music-including Chuck Berry jamming with Jack Teagarden!-and shows how people dressed for casual occasions then (this was also during my much younger days).Some shots of Ahmet Ertegun in the audience.My one regret is that they didn't film George Frazier introducing a jazz singer in Latin.

Good call. How right you are, the film Jazz on a Summers has been used as a reference point for many music films, Monterey Pop, Woodstock and many a great music rock concert, where the audience is almost as important as the artists.

I saw it Lincoln Center on the 4th with the founder, George Wein and Bert Stern doing a Q&A afterwards. There's a post on my blog that describes it with some awful pics of Stern.
