"By 1958, Bert Stern had become a celebrated advertising and fashion photographer, but the then 28-year-old had another ambition: "I wanted to make a movie before I was 30," says Stern, who beat his deadline with Jazz on a Summer's Day. More than four decades later, Stern's sharply etched, exhilarating portrait of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival --from fabulous yachts to youthful party-hoppers to sensational performances by Louis Armstrong, Dinah Washington, Mahalia Jackson, Thelonious Monk, and others -- looks better than ever on a sparkling DVD release. To celebrate the return of this jazz classic -- one of the few documentaries to be added to the National Film Registry -- Stern spoke with Barnes&Noble.com's John Guida about his film."
