JAZZ ON A SUMMER'S DAY
June 22, 2020  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Start saving your jazz hands. As part of TCM’s twice-weekly June tribute to jazz in film, tonight’s prime-time lineup is populated by two seminal jazz documentaries. The first is this 1959 account of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, which showcased all manner of old and new music. Included on the bill: jazz great Louis Armstrong, younger pioneer Thelonious Monk, singers Dinah Washington and Mahalia Jackson… and, sliding over from the then-new genre of rock ’n’ roll, Chuck Berry.
