Directed by Aram Avakian and Bert Stern, this documentary concert film captures the sounds and performances of some of the major jazz artists at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Unlike earlier jazz movies that had been filmed in smoky black and white, this is shot in vibrant color. While musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Anita O’Day, and Mahalia Jackson perform, images of beaches, sailboats on water, dancing couples, and the faces of joyful audience members are intercut into the proceedings.
MAIDEN VOYAGE
Maiden Voyage is a traveling, hi-fi listening experience that brings music fans together in a communal setting for focused listening of jazz on vinyl. Using their mobile audiophile sound system, Maiden Voyage and guest selectors share their favorite records in an ode to the jazz kissa of Japan. Listening sessions are 21+. Free with Festival Gold Card Pass, or tickets at maidenvoyagehifi.com.
