I have just been reading a magazine article relating to Jazz on Film and it seems that there are some excellent examples, mainly from the 40s and 50s. With the wonder of Youtube, some of these are available to stream online:

(Jammin' the Blues -)    www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Or9ospJrU&spfreload=10

(St. Louis Blues -)   www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyHcsT8dark&spfreload=10

(Sun Valley Serenade - )   www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGs6AvrXGG8&spfreload=10

(Orchestra Wives - )    www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9TXTizrMBE&spfreload=10

Happy viewing!

I would also highly recommend, ‘Jazz on a Summer’s Day’ which captures captures Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Chuck Berry, Mahalia Jackson, and many others performing at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.

Directed by the commercial and fashion photographer Bert Stern, the film was selected in 1999 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
