Bert Stern’s Jazz on a Summer’s Day, streaming from Film Forum, starting August 12, transports us to a simpler time. Bare-faced citizens assemble en masse to listen and dance to American music. One of the earliest music documentaries, Stern’s film records a number of performers from the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, periodically cutting away to the sailboat activities in the town harbor.
