Jazz Icons Vol 4 Anita O'Day Live in 63, 70 Anita O'Day JAZZ ICONS | 2119015 | DVD | 747313901555
Two wonderful Anita O’Day concerts from 1963 and 1970 that present the 'jazz singer supreme' in fine form and show unequivocally why she is ranked in the top tier of vocalists along with Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday. O’Day’s horn-based approach to singing is in full effect throughout both shows including stand-out renditions in each show of audience favorites 'Tea For Two' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown' (both reprised from her triumphant appearance at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.) In the wake of O’Day’s recent passing, this DVD is a fitting testimony to one of jazz music’s true originals.
Jazz Icons Vol 4 Woody Herman Live in 64 Woody Herman (clarinet) JAZZ ICONS | 2119016 | DVD | 747313901654
A blistering one hour Woody Herman big band concert from 1964 featuring one of the very hottest line-ups of the 'Swinging Herd' including trumpeter Bill Chase, trombonist Phil Wilson and the amazing saxophonist Sal Nistico on the front line as well as drummer Jake Hanna and pianist-arranger Nat Pierce in the rhythm section. Woody and his band roar throughout the entire show which includes both classic standards such as 'Lonesome Old Town' and 'After You’ve Gone' as well as new originals including Horace Silver’s 'Sister Sadie' and Charles Mingus’s 'Better Git It In Your Soul.'
Jazz Icons Vol 4 Art Blakey Live in 65 Art Blakey JAZZ ICONS | 2119017 | DVD | 747313901753
An exceptional one-hour concert by Art Blakey from Paris in 1965. This performance showcases one of the few undocumented Blakey bands, the New Jazzmen, and features the incomparable Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, as well as Jaki Byard on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, Nathan Davis on sax and, of course, Art Blakey on drums – truly a powerhouse quintet! Freddie Hubbard's recent death underscores the timeliness of this release as it features his incendiary playing on 'Blue Moon' and his own 'Crisis,' and serves as a cogent reminder that Freddie was one of the best in jazz history. This show cooks from start to finish. Art Blakey is Jazz Icons’ first repeat artist as he was featured in our first series back in 2006 and remains one of the best-selling titles in the entire series.
Jazz Icons Vol 4 Jimmy Smith Live in 69 Jimmy Smith JAZZ ICONS | 2119018 | DVD | 747313901852
An incredible 90-minute Jim Smith concert from 1969 filmed in Paris. Working in a trio format (including longtime guitarist Eddie McFadden), Jimmy shows why he is still the uncontested king of the jazz organ. Highlights include blues jams 'Got My Mojo Workin’' and 'Sonnymoon For Two,' the classic ballads 'Alfie' and 'Satin Doll' as well as a blinding 23-minute version of Jimmy Smith’s showcase number 'The Sermon.'
Jazz Icons Vol 4 Art Farmer Live in 64 Art Farmer JAZZ ICONS | 2119019 | DVD | 747313901951
An amazing one-hour Art Farmer concert from 1964 featuring the great flugelhornist in his prime. Farmer’s top-notch band includes legendary guitarist Jim Hall (fresh from Sonny Rollins’ band), drummer Pete LaRoca and Steve Swallow on bass. This legendary ensemble plays both standards and originals with ease and finesse and highlights why Farmer was considered one of the most innovative horn players in all of jazz.
Jazz Icons Vol 4 Coleman Hawkins Live in 64 Coleman Hawkins JAZZ ICONS | 2119020 | DVD | 747313902057
Two incredible Coleman Hawkins concerts from 1962 and 1964 featuring 140 minutes of music. Both concerts feature stellar European and American side-musicians including Harry 'Sweets' Edison on trumpet and drummer Jonathan 'Jo' Jones – both Jazz Legends in their own right. The 1962 show is a newly-discovered one-hour concert from the Adolphe Sax Festival in Belgium, which has never been seen. Coleman Hawkins, 'The Father of Jazz Saxophone' demonstrates in these two concerts why he is still considered one of the most important innovators in the history of jazz.
Jazz Icons Vol 4 Erroll Garner Live in 63-64 Erroll Garner JAZZ ICONS | 2119021 | DVD | 747313902156
Two Erroll Garner concerts from 1963 and 1964 featuring his classic trio of bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Kelly Martin. Erroll Garner was one of jazz’s true original players and this DVD is a parade of his most classic numbers. The trio delivers throughout both shows including favorites 'Fly Me To The Moon' and 'I Get A Kick Out Of You' as well as originals 'Erroll’s Theme,' 'Mambo Erroll' and his best-known composition, 'Misty’.
