It is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, namely, a blues/jazz jam session that was recorded on film. A group of musicians perform three songs: "Midnight Symphony", "On the Sunny Side of the Street", and the improvisational "Jammin' the Blues".Jammin' the Blues is noteworthy for its All-Star Cast of 1940s jazz musicians. Performers playing the session include saxophonist Lester Young, Harry Edison on trumpet, Marlowe Morris on piano, and many others.Compare 1960 feature film Jazz on a Summer's Day, a concert film documenting the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Drummer Jo Jones looks straight at the camera in the very last second of the film, as the performance ends and after The End has already popped up onscreen. | |

Impractical Musical Instrument Skills: Lester Young was well-known for playing his saxophone at odd, unnatural angles and can be seen doing it less than a minute into this film. | |

Chiaroscuro: Most of the film is shot dark and shadowy, except for when Marie Bryant shows up to sing "On the Sunny Side of the Street". The set is well-lit when she's on screen. | |

Blackface: There was one white musician in the group: guitarist Barney Kessel. He's hidden in the shadows, but when the camera found his hands for a close-up, they're stained with berry juice. | |
