You gotta love it how stuff like this became available when YouTube took off the limit for the length of videos. Here's the entire movie by Bert Stern on the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Some seminal performances here: Jimmy Giuffre, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt, Anita O'Day, Dinah Washington, Gerry Mulligan, Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong, and Jack Teagarden.

Saw this years ago;it's great to see it again.What an inspired beginning,Giuffre,Brookmeyer and Hall,showing how you don't need drums to swing,you just need players with metronomes in their heads(as these cats most certainly do(did).
Will watch the rest of it anon.Thanks for posting.

An invaluable document, and the end of an era. Ornette--and the musical revolution he ushered in--was a year off, and the year following that would see Mingus's "rebel" festival at Newport. The times, they were a-changin'. Indeed......
