Set at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, this documentary mixes images of water and the town with performers and audience. The film progresses from day to night and from improvisational music to Gospel. It's a concert film that suggests peace and leisure, jazz at a particular time and place.

I can sort of see why Jazz on a Summer's Day is missing, but it's a shame since it defined the style of almost every festival film that followed.
