How those glowing reviews can be so naive? This is a con job. There's very little footage of performances and a LOT of padding, it's unbelievable. A good online article called 'Jazz on a Summer's Day - A Contrarian View' explains how unprepared the filmmakers were and how ill-conceived this project was.
Despite the '100 hundred feet of film' shot and five 35mm cameras, no shot holds for more than 10 seconds. I'm not even talking about alternate camera angles (most at audience ground level), it just cuts to unrelated footage of boats or a fake audience assembled by the filmmakers long after the fact.
