Got a yearning for jazz? The U Street Movie Series has the answer to your craving with a double-bill of Soul Power, which chronicles the events that lead up to the Rumble in the Jungle—and one of the most significant musical gatherings in Africa in the 70's—and closer to home, Duke Ellington's Washington, a look at how the city made Ellington the musician that he was, and how Washington's music scene found its way to rebirth. Harrison Field at V Street NW between 13th & 14th Streets, gates open at 7 PM, screening begins at sundown, around 8:30 PM.
