Sampling of a broad range of jazz. LA performs perhaps 3 songs.
Nothing is listed on the Soundtracks page.
Perhaps most interesting for looking at the people in the audience. Most are probably jazz fans, although 1 interviewed was not. It's a completely white crowd, but the age range includes anyone ambulatory. We get mostly facial closeups, so their clothes don't date the images. They don't look like people in the movies, but they also don't look like 21st century faces either. Strange.
indies, dir. Avakian & Stern; 6+
