"Gorgeous. Probably the best feature-length jazz concert movie ever made."

– Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

“Filmed with a rare artistry, a rare attention to making images of music that are themselves musical.”

– Richard Brody, The New Yorker

“An exquisite historical document. The film is where the American concert documentary genre begins.”
