Jam Session is a 1942 American short film, directed by Josef Berne, which shows Duke Ellington and his orchestra performing "C Jam Blues".
In 2001, the United States Library of Congress deemed the 3-minute, black-and-white film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.[1][2][3]
The short 16 mm film was a Soundie,[4][5] distributed by the Soundie Distributing Corporation[6] for playback in the Panoram film jukebox. Jam Session is included on the DVD Duke Ellington: Early Tracks from the Master of Swing (2006).
