Jazz on a Summer's Day (1960) is a documentary film set at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island.

Kind'a cool 1:30 minutes of... this is what 1958 was like.

You can view it online from Netflix... you might like it, you might hate it. I liked the feel of it... downside: just a passing glimpse of the drums during most sets.

Jimmy Giuffre 3: Jimmy Giuffre, Bob Brookmeyer, Jim Hall

Thelonious Monk Trio: Thelonious Monk, Henry Grimes, Roy Haynes

Sonny Stitt and Sal Salvador

Anita O'Day

George Shearing

Dinah Washington

Gerry Mulligan Quartet: Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer

Big Maybelle

Chuck Berry

Chico Hamilton Quintet

Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars: Trummy Young, Danny Barcelona

Armstrong & Jack Teagarden

Mahalia Jackson

Also appearing are Buck Clayton, Jo Jones, Armando Peraza, and Eli's Chosen Six, the Yale College student ensemble that included later-legendary trombonist Roswell Rudd, shown playing Dixieland as they drive around Newport in a convertible jalopy.
