The 2018 documentary, The Modern Jazz Quartet: From Residency to Legacy, is a film by George Schuller, son of MJQ musician Gunther Schuller. The film features jazz legends like Percy Heath, John Lewis, Dave Brubeck, Gunther Schuller, Stephanie Barber, Herb Pomeroy, Ornette Coleman, Ran Blake and many others. It is a fascinating collection of remembrances and anecdotes highlighting the MJQ’s role in developing the pioneering School of Jazz at the Berkshires at the Music Inn, during the summers between 1955-60. 
Light refreshments will be served. Suggested donation is $10 at the door. 
​Advance ticket purchase is not available for this event.
