  In the early 1960's the Goodyear Tire Company commissioned five short jazz films. It was part promotional device, part good will gesture. In both regards, it was successful. The programs were originally filmed on 35 mm negative. The sound was recorded in professional stereo. However, the shows were presented in 16mm with a mono track. Over the years, the prints faded because of an unstable colour print stock. What was once an extremely professional, good looking endeavour, now looked like an out of date historic relic. Storyville Films has returned to the original source material for this DVD presentation. The original 35mm source has been transferred to video tape and the original stereo masters have been restored. Now you will see the gorgeous detail and hear the excellent sound that was captured in the early sixties. These films now stand as some of the most technically advanced jazz films, featuring some irreplaceable music.
