Jazz House Classics: Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of The Montclair Jazz Festival

In celebration of Jazz House Kids’ 10th Annual Montclair Jazz Festival, Montclair Film is proud to partner with Jazz House Kids to feature four classic films that feature some of the greatest jazz music ever created on screen. From Duke Ellington’s legendary score for ANATOMY OF A MURDER, to Miles Davis’ transformative score for ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS, to Sonny Rollins’ character defining music for ALFIE, to the brilliant live performances captured in the classic ‘ROUND MIDNIGHT, the music in these films epitomize the beauty of jazz. Each screening will feature a live, pre-screening performance by a Jazz House Kids ensemble, beginning 30 minutes prior to the designated screening time. Come early for the music and stay for the film as we build up to the 10th Annual Montclair Jazz Festival, taking place Saturday, August 10 in Nishuane Park!
