“Jazz on a Summer’s Day.” by Bert Stein

In 1958, fashion photographer Bert Stern set out to make a film about the annual Jazz festival in Newport, Rhode Island.



If you don't have the time or inclination to watch the whole film you might want to watch the Anita O'Day portion of this video I posted long ago.

Thanks to coisas do arco da velha for a wonderful link.

    That was cool. I think you posted a snippet with Anita O'Day before.

    It captures both the performance, and the Americana of the era. Fascinating from both perspectives.
