Additional Information

Jazz/big band performance at the McLellan Galleries. Starts with footage of what looks to be an instrumental jazz sextet, playing in a relatively melodic style with some improvisation/free jazz. This changes half way through (it seems to be a new band, although it could conceivably be a rearrangement of the same band with more players added) to what is more of a big band, with heavy brass instrumentation. The audience is seated throughout, with the performance shot fairly continuously from a balcony above. The image quality is quite poor, making it difficult to make out details.
