Jammin' the Blues is a 1944 short film in which several prominent jazz musicians got together for a rare filmed jam session. It features Lester Young, Red Callender, Harry Edison, Marlowe Morris, Sid Catlett, Barney Kessel, Joe Jones, John Simmons, Illinois Jacquet, Marie Bryant, Archie Savage and Garland Finney. For some, this is their only known appearance in a theatrical film. Barney Kessel is the only white performer in the film. He was seated in the shadows to shade his skin, and for closeups, his hands were stained with berry juice. Lindy Hop legends Archie Savage and Marie Bryant do the Lindy Hop (Jitterbug) on this footage. Directed by Gjon Mili and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Alex Chilton "Make A Little Love" (New Rose)
un étrange clip français au milieu des années 80...c'est l'époque des albums de l'ex-Big Star sur le label New Rose.
Il tourne en France en trio à cette pèriode et j'ai souvenir d'un concert magique à Sete.
Sukho Lee: Harvey Sid Fisher!
Sukho Lee directed this super8 film featuring none other thanTHE Harvey Sid Fisher!The music was written and performed by Harvey himself.
Harvey is most famous for his Astrology Songs album and videos but he’s still around and he’s still writing and performing funny,
clever, and insightful songs.This premiered at the 2007 Attack of the 50 Foot Reels film festival hosted by Flicker LA in which none of the films are edited - just shot as is, in sequence, and turned in undeveloped.
The soundtrack is turned in separately. All this requires you to keep track of every single shot and its duration in order to synchronize properly with the sound, and if you need to switch locations back and forth that means you have to physically go back and forth too.
Oh, and there are no second takes.
