Jazz Icons, a series of 9 DVD box sets, contain a fabulous group of Jazz artists captured on film.Some pieces are from television shows of the 50’s/ 60’s, others are film clips from old Jazz festivals, etc.
I don’t know if Jazz is “In” or “Out” today? perhaps it depends on who is writing about this lasting art form, but, regardless – if you like this music or you’re curious, seeing/hearing these musicians at top form is priceless and fun:
John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Dave Brubeck, and more.
