Not to forget, two exquisite films by D.A. Pennebaker, a jazz aficionado: Daybreak Express (1953), a short featuring the NY City Third Avenue Elevated Train, cut to the music of Duke Ellington. Lambert & Co. (1964) Documentary short featuring Dave Lambert (of Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross) auditions a new group at RCA studios. Lovely music and interactions between the 4 singers.
In the profuse ecology of short films, some beautiful work gets lost or forgotten. Hope these don't.
