JAZZ ON A SUMMER’S DAY (U)

Director: Bert Stern/1959/USA/83mins

This classic film is one of the most extraordinary, and possibly the first, concert film ever made. Filmed at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island, it has now been enhanced with 4K restoration and colour correction. It features intimate performances by an all-star line-up of musical legends including Louis Armstrong, Thelonius  Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O’Day, Chuck Berry, Dinah Washington, and closes with a beautiful rendition or The Lord’s Prayer by Mahalia Jackson at midnight to usher in Sunday morning.

Mae’r ffilm glasurol hon yn un o’r rhai mwyaf rhyfeddol, ac o bosibl y ffilm gyngerdd gyntaf a wnaed erioed. Wedi’i ffilmio yng Ngŵyl Newport 1958 yn Rhode Island, mae bellach wedi’i gwella’n ddigidol gydag adferiad 4K a chywiro lliw. Mae’n cynnwys perfformiadau agos-atoch gan gyfres o sêr cerddorol gan gynnwys Louis Armstrong, Thelonius Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O’Day, Chuck Berry, Dinah Washington, ac mae’n cloi gyda pherfformiad hardd o Weddi’r Arglwydd gan Mahalia Jackson am hanner nos / fore Sul.
