For all jazz and cinema lovers, here’s a selection that’s tailor made for you! You’ll have the chance to see the first Spike Lee / Denzel Washington collaboration, interpreting Bleek Willams, a passionate trumpeter in Mo’Better Blues, and the moving performance by Peter Weller on Howard Shore’s music in Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch. You will also see Count Basie in Last of the Blue Devils, a documentary that brings together the great names of "The Oklahoma City Blue Devils" as well as the legendary performance of Dizzy Gillespie in A Night in Havana. In addition, our special program will feature Jazz on a Summer’s Day starring Thelonious Monk, Big Maybelle, Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong and many others who got together at the 1958 Newport Festival, and Calle 54 which brings together the big names from Latin Jazz Latin, including Tito Puente. Also, witness the contagious passion of the veteran of jazz journalists, Maurice Cullaz nicknamed Smoothie by Louis Armstrong in the film of the same name. Finally, don’t miss the film The Illinois Jacquet Story, a documentary exploring the life and times of the popularly unknown jazz and R&B saxophone legend Illinois Jacquet. He has played with most of the greats and almost single-handedly developed a rompin'-stompin' saxophone sound which has been a feature of great R&B ever since.
