The day continues at 2pm with a screening of The House of Tom – Mundo, Monde, Mondo,  a documentary on Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim, best known in the US for creating the 1960s bossa nova craze with tunes like “The Girl from Ipanema.” Following the screening there will be a live Bossa Nova performance from Duduka da Fonseca, Maucha Adnet, and Leo Traversa.

Jazz on a Summer Day concludes with a screening of Jazz on a Summer’s Day filmed at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival and a live performance by John Pizzarelli and Catherine Russell.
