The Atlanta Jazz Festival is proud to announce several important new partnerships this year.  In order to present the classic jazz film, One Night With Blue Note, the festival is working with the BronzeLens Film Festival and Blue Note Records; and to present three of the brightest young stars in jazz at this year’s festival, they are collaborating with Blue Note and Revive Music. 

“Our mission is to educate and entertain people with the authentically American art form of jazz,” says Camille Russell Love, Executive Director of the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs.  “And we are passionate about embracing the next generation of jazz musicians and giving them a platform at the Atlanta Jazz Festival.  These new partnerships are a wonderful way to further that mission, and share powerful musical experiences with the public.”

One Night With Blue Note, is a feature length jazz film directed by John Charles Jopson. The film is based on a concert produced by Blue Note record executive Bruce Lundvall and music director Michael Cuscuna which was held on February 22, 1985 at The Town Hall in New York City. The film features performances by Art Blakey, Kenny Burrell, Ron Carter, Stanley Jordan, McCoy TynerHerbie Hancock and others. 

BronzeLens will host a panel discussion after the screening featuring one of the artists from the film, Stanley Jordan. Joining him on the panel will be President of Revive Records, Meghan Stabile, along with noted Atlanta based musicians and music historians Joe Jennings and Rev. Dr. Dwight Andrews
