film called "Music Inn" about jazz "school" in Len

[skeith]

I have not seen the film, but thought I would "recommend" it here because it looks interesting and I have seen no films about this legendary school.

It is a documentary on the "school" that was set up in Lenox Massachussetts every summer beginning in 1951 basically for jazz musicians.

I think I have read that John Lewis of MJQ was associated with this and that one summer Ornette Coleman made a big splash there.

Thanks for posting that link, Larry. The 1959 Concert Program contained there clears up some of the personnel listings left off the Royal Jazz CD notes.
