There's the Robert Altman film Kansas City that has a lot of jazz in it.

Yeah that's a good movie although it's pretty violent. Very good jazz in it!

A lot of Frank Sinatra movies, but they're not exactly jazz. Chicago, the musical that became a movie, has some sassy jazz in that one. I want to see the Charlie Parker movie by Clint Eastwood, since my friend keeps saying it's good.

But damn, I don't think anyone can beat those Ken Burns movies. They're the shizznit! blaugh

Bird and Round Midnight are great jazz flicks!
Mo Better Blues has some great music in it as well!

Yeah I love that movie, and I love the music of Charlie as well. but what I admire of him is his song "bird" because "bird" revolutionizes the jazz from the blues, in this one the harmony shaped by three chords that have a specific distribution along the form. But by means of the use of a series of harmonic cadences Parker in "bird" interpolates at least twelve chords in this three, which a blues gives like proved with at least fifteen chords distributed in the same twelve compases ... which is equivalent to a quarter of hour in minute and a half ... this way of madman
