Drummer and documentary film producer George Schuller returns to introduce Music Inn, an elegiac documentary, directed by Ben Barenholtz. The film charts the legacy of the Music Inn, a 1950s haven for jazz and folk artists who gathered each summer to hone their skills and explore their musical roots via jam sessions and discussions. Through interviews and archival footage, "Music Inn" traces the inn's founders and tracks the enduring influence of the famed Berkshire Mountains site that eventually became America's first concentrated jazz school.
