JSngry Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 The one (and only) commenter say Monterey 1970, and ok, but what were somebody going to do a sequel to Jazz On A Summer's Day? Also, is this the earliest documented version of "Chinoiserie"? More info here: http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.jots.200017821/default.html 60 minutes of footage? Where is all this stuff? Norman Abbott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Excerpts from a film called" Monterey Jazz" (1970). They're not in order. That's Johnny Otis's band backing the singers. (Esther Phillips, Cleanhead Vinson and Jimmy Rushing). And yes it's from a few months before the Lp recording of Chinoiserie. (Here it was still being called Eclipse pt 2.) I got this info from the late Klaus Stratemann's excellent book "Ellington: Day by Day by Day and Film by Film".

I'm seeing this described as a 60 minute TV film. Where were the TVs that got to watch this?, and when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't answer that but according to Stratemann the tv film was a shortened version of the 81 minute original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
