Durium Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I have a question about a DVD in the series Jazz Classical Masters. This one is volume 4 and it contains a film from the 1962 Newport Festival. I have tried to find out all that (fragments) of artist and I do have: (Intro with music on the back ground and views of Newport) / Count Basie (says the liner notes, but it is Oscar Peterson / Lambert, Hendrick and Bavan / Roland Kirk with Goin' To Chicago / John Browns Body + When The saints sung bu Cura Stars Gospel singers (?) / Your Heart Delight (?)played by Oscar Peterson - The bass player is Ray Brown / Some big band fragment from Duke Ellington Orchestra (with I Got Rhythm (?) and Things Ain't What They Used To Be) and finally Count Basie with Jimmy Rushing and unknown singer (to me) with songs like I Love You virginia and another title. The quality is very very bad. It looks as if someone filmed with an 8 mm camera from the last row. I hope someone knows what documentary this is. Can you give me the details? BTW: I do have the line ups for volume 1,2 and 3 Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durium Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Can someone explain to me where these reissues come from? I'm talking about the 4 issues of the Jazz Classical Masters. All four of them - rubish, although I know there are very good fresh copies of these films. Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 the 1-2 minutes of kirk playing 'three for the festival' is fine by me. yes, and a rare occasion of hearing Andrew Hill playing in the Roland Kirk group, even if one cannot see much of him!

Is that the track that is included on the bonus disk with the Kirk 'Complete Mercury' set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the track that is included on the bonus disk with the Kirk 'Complete Mercury' set? The bonus disc from the Kirk box has a 7'08 version of 'A Stritch In Time' from Newport 1962. The sound is fine there. On the DVD, Kirk plays 'Three for the Festival'. The sound is terrible. The visual is even worse. Looks like a tenth generation copy of a video found in a garbage can! Just awful! And a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 maybe they did a bad transfer when they manufactured the dvd. i have the vhs, and it's really not that bad. although, i watch only the kirk portion, and can't speak for the quality of the rest of the videotape.
