Blue Note - A Story of Modern Jazz (1997)

It's good, but not great. I haven't watched it for a while, but I remember a fair portion of the program is devoted to Blue Note "today" — meaning, being remixed for the DJ/club scene.

Also, a somewhat annoying part of the documentary: whenever there's a full shot of an LP cover, the music rarely, if ever, is from that album. Might be confusing for those just getting into the label.

The best part, for me, was about 15 seconds of live footage featuring Sonny Rollins from 1965 (which has nothing to do with Blue Note, actually) — a trio concert with NHOP and Alan Dawson.

I'd say go for some of the Jazz Icons DVDs first.
