One Night with Blue Note is a 1985 feature length jazz film directed by John Charles Jopson.

Director Jopson prepared by studying the music from various live recordings, and then, consulting with producer Tammara Wells plus director of photography Martin Pitts and camera operators Ernest Dickerson, Paul Goldsmith and Don Lenser, determined the camera positions.

The film is known for its intimate close-ups of the musicians, showing their subtle signals to each other and acknowledgment of well-played riffs.

Jopson focuses on faces and hands, capturing the joy that surged through what were often strangely formal proceedings.

With positive changes in what we can now accomplish technologically, Blue Note’s highly recommended DVD makes the future of jazz look even brighter".
