Scenes Through the Cinema Lens: Art of the Jazz Soloist

Scenes Through the Cinema Lens is an original retrospective focusing on the performing arts in film. Each screening examines a different theme and allows audiences to enjoy selections from well-to lesser-known films. With its strong focus on jazz orchestras and vocalists, this year’s series will highlight several of the great performers who appeared at the Lost Jazz Shrines and rarely seen footage of luminaries such as Count Basie, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Tonight’s edition, Art of the Jazz Soloist, features extraordinary performances by Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Shaw, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and many more.
