SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Jazz on a Summer's Day" with Q+A
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening of 1959 Jazz on a Summer’s Day\nFollowed by a Q+A with Brian Kane\nThursday May 28 from 6:30–9:00PM \nFilm duration: 1h 25m\nRegistration: $20 general admission\, $10 seniors\, $10 students\, and free for members \nExperience the intersection of jazz history and visual art at MoCACT on Thursday\, May 28\, at 6:30 PM for a screening of the 1959 documentary Jazz on a Summer’s Day directed by photographer Bert Stern. The film captures the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival\, documented in vibrant color and high-fashion style. Rather than a standard concert film\, it unfolds as a visual poem that interweaves legendary musical performances with scenes of the coastal crowds and the America’s Cup yacht races. This landmark documentary serves as a cinematic extension of our current exhibition\, Art\, Jazz + the Blues\, bringing the same energy and rhythm found in our galleries to the screen. \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with Brian Kane\, a scholar of music theory and philosophy who specializes in the intersection of sound\, improvisation\, and 20th-century jazz. Kane brings a unique perspective to the film’s legacy\, exploring how these legendary performances continue to resonate within the history of American art. Brian Kane is Professor of Music and Film and Media Studies at Yale University. He earned his PhD from UC Berkeley and was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University before joining Yale University. He teaches and writes about jazz\, sound\, media\, and technology—and how the ways we listen influence how we understand the world. He is the author of two books published by Oxford University Press: Sound Unseen: Acousmatic Sound in Theory and Practice (2014) and Hearing Double: Jazz\, Ontology\, Auditory Culture (2024). Kane leads Yale’s Sound Studies Working Group and is a founding editor of nonsite.org\, an online journal of arts and ideas. \nAs you watch the film\, you will recognize the very figures who served as direct muses for several artists in our exhibition. The film features Louis Armstrong\, a vital inspiration for Richard Hunt\, Faith Ringgold\, and Tracy Sugarman\, alongside Thelonious Monk\, whose improvisational genius influenced Sam Gilliam and is captured in John H. Nichols’ Pianorama in our larger gallery space. Additionally\, the appearance of Mahalia Jackson highlights her profound impact on the work of Romare Bearden. Join us for an evening of legendary film and insightful conversation.
