Jazz Dance

Thematic Score! Music and Documentary Curated by D A Pennebaker

A wild cinematic ride of dancers in a New York jazz club shot by legendary cinematographer Richard Leacock. Widely regarded as the first cinema verité film, Jazz Dance follows the dancers with remarkable certainty, jumpin’ and jivin’ with the best of ‘em. A remarkable achievement in cinematography that, even with the technologies of today, has rarely been bettered.
