Revered as the definitive jazz concert film and recently restored in 4K, this documentary about the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island was directed by world-renowned photographer Bert Stern.
The all-star line-up includes Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O’Day and Dinah Washington. There’s also some amusement to be had from the sight of the great Chuck Berry introducing a bemused jazz band to his ground-breaking brand of rock’n’roll.
