'''''One Night with Blue Note''''' is a 1985 [[feature length]] [[jazz]] film directed by [[John Jopson|John Charles Jopson]].<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428914/l ''One Night with Blue Note'' IMDb listing]</ref>

To celebrate record executive [[Bruce Lundvall]] having relaunched the defunct [[Blue Note Records]] label in 1985 under the parent label [[EMI Manhattan Records]], he and [[music director]] [[Michael Cuscuna]] staged a concert on February 22, 1985 at [[The Town Hall (New York City)|The Town Hall]] in [[New York City]], bringing together some of the jazz legends associated with Blue Note over the years as well as some newly signed artists.

The 3 hour-plus event was shot on [[16mm film]] with multiple cameras. [[film director|Director]] Jopson prepared by studying the music from various live recordings, and then, consulting with [[record producer|producer]] [[Tammara Wells]] plus [[director of photography]] [[Martin Pitts]] and camera operators [[Ernest Dickerson]], [[Paul Goldsmith (cinematographer)|Paul Goldsmith]] and [[Don Lenser]], determined the camera positions. During rehearsals Pitts and long-time associate Lou Tobin designed the lighting for show. The lighting team was joined by the crew from ''[[A Chorus Line]]'' which had just closed on Broadway. The film is known for its intimate [[close-up]]s of the musicians, showing their subtle signals to each other and acknowledgment of well-played [[riffs]]. The recording was engineered by Mike Moran and David Hewitt with Remote Recording Service's Silver Truck.

== Reception ==
A ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine review of the original film from December 16, 1985 stated "There is no hype to this film, just musicians standing and sitting around playing music. But what musicians, and what music. Jopson focuses on faces and hands, capturing the joy that surged through what were often strangely formal proceedings."<ref>[http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20092467,00.html ''One Night with Blue Note'' Film review], December 16, 1985</ref> The [[All About Jazz]] review of the DVD re-release by Jim Santella stated "Its historical significance cannot be ignored. With positive changes in what we can now accomplish technologically, Blue Note’s highly recommended DVD makes the future of jazz look even brighter".<ref>Santella, J. [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=957 ''One Night with Blue Note'' DVD review], December 13, 2003</ref>
