The San Francisco Cinematheque once again welcomes jazz-film archivist Mark Cantor to the Bay Area with an outstanding program of jazz clips featuring some of the greatest names in jazz music preserved in 16mm sound film. Mr. Cantor’s first Cinematheque program was one of the high points of the Spring season and focused on early jazz and blues musicians. Tonight’s selection concentrates on such modern figures as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, Sonny Rollins, and others. These excerpts and shorts were collected from many sources (private collections, libraries, etc.). This program will be also shown at the P.F.A. on Saturday, Dec. 11th at 7:30 P.M.
