Jazz On A Summer’s Day / 60th anniversary deluxe edition

DVD+CD+2LP vinyl • Restored visuals • Remastered audio

Charly Records are to reissue the classic 1960 concert film Jazz On A Summer’s Day as a lavish four-disc deluxe edition. This record of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival featured an amazing array of talent including as Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Anita O’Day, Dinah Washington and Chuck Berry.

The film was conceived and directed by photographer Bert Stern and filmed over three days in August 1958, with Columbia Records jazz producer, George Avakian, as the musical director.

Such is the importance of this record of late fifties America, in 1999 the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

This new four-disc deluxe edition celebrates 60 years since the festival and features newly restored visuals on the DVD (with bonus documentary and extras), a newly remastered soundtrack on CD and across two 10-inch vinyl records (mastered at half-speed).

Additionally this set includes a 40-page hardcover book with sleeve notes by Fred Dellar, along with artist and track-by-track details.

Jazz On A Summer’s Day will be issued on 26 October 2018
