Jazz Week always includes a few events given to film finds and this year is not about to be an exception.
“In My Mind" is an acclaimed documentary about rising jazz pianist Jason Moran's 50th anniversary tribute to Thelonious Monk's historic 1959 Town Hall Concert in New York City. The 97-minute film had its Boston premiere at the 2010 Roxbury International Film Festival and is introduced by the festival's director, Lisa Simmons in a special 6pm screening at the Rabb Lecture Hall in the Boston Public Library Main Branch in Copley Square.
“For Eric, Evening II" is a night of rarely seen videos of jazz greats selected by Jackson and screened at the Regent Theatre, Arlington Center, on Friday, May 6 at 7:30pm.

Among Jackson's picks will be clips of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Herbie Hancock, Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery, Pharoah Sanders and Sonny Rollins. A reception with Jackson and Miller will precede the screening.
