The Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Festival is partnering with Warner Home Video to promote four DVD re-releases. BIRD, PETE KELLEY’S BLUES, ROUND MIDNIGHT, AND BLUES IN THE NIGHT.
BIRD - Clint Eastwood brings a lifelong love of jazz to this gripping story of pioneering jazzman Charlie “Yardbird” Parker. Past and future overlap as the movie explores Bird’s soaring skill and destructive excesses.
PETE KELLY’S BLUES - Gats. Gams. Gangsters. And the music that made the ‘20s roar. Jack Webb stars as a Kansas City jazz cornetist, and when he takes on a vicious ganglord, the only thing faster than his famed deadpan delivery is the rapid-fire action.
ROUND MIDNIGHT - Inside the Blue Note nightclub in 1959 Paris, an aged, ailing jazzman coaxes an eloquent wail from his tenor sax. Outside, a young Parisian strains to hear those notes. Soon, they will form a friendship that sparks a final burst of genius in the fading musician.
BLUES IN THE NIGHT - Another night, another club. Jigger Pine’s quintet is sockin’ ‘em solid before hopping a boxcar to the next gig. Not much money in this life. But plenty of tumult involving a criminal, a songbird, and those Blues in the Night.
