  Jazz on a Summer's Day 1959

  ★★★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2025

  A great and real snapshot of the magic of the Newport Festival. Highlights - Anita O’Day, Satchmo with Jack Teagarden and Mahalia Jackson. I only wish the personnel of each group was clearly listed, and that we got a glimpse of every player (Roy Haynes!).

  Bird 1988

  ★½ Added

  Forest Whitaker is not believable as Bird, and we never get any sense of why Charlie Parker was one of the most important musicians of all time. A missed opportunity.
