“Jazz on a Summer’s Day.” Sony. $29.95. This is Bert Stern’s exquisitely photographed memento of the sounds, crowds, streets, children, waters, birds and boats (during the America’s Cup race) at Newport’s 1958 jazz festival. All this and Jimmy Giuffre, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt, Anita O’Day, George Shearing, Dinah Washington, Gerry Mulligan, Big Maybelle, Chico Hamilton, Eric Dolphy, Louis Armstrong duetting with Jack Teagarden, and, climaxing the power and glory of these 77 magical minutes, Mahalia Jackson singing the Lord’s Prayer. This classic slice of American history is utterly indispensable. Information: (800) 847-4164. ****
