SECOND SERIES OF JAZZ ICONS™ DVDS TO BE RELEASED! NEW SERIES OF JAZZ ICONS™ DVDS FEATURES VINTAGE UNSEEN CONCERTS FEATURING JOHN COLTRANE, DAVE BRUBECK, DUKE ELLINGTON, SARAH VAUGHAN, DEXTER GORDON, WES MONTGOMERY, CHARLES MINGUS "The release of Jazz Icons™ is like the unearthing of a musical time capsule-an audio-visual treasure trove of the music that changed the world. From an educational standpoint this series is a gift to our culture." - Quincy Jones “This is like the discovery of a bonanza of previously unknown manuscripts of plays by William Shakespeare.” - Nat Hentoff, Wall Street Journal The eagerly anticipated release of the second series of Jazz Icons™ DVDs is here. Reelin' In The Years Productions and Naxos are proud to announce the September 4, 2007 release of the next seven titles in the illustrious DVD series featuring performances by John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Dexter Gordon, Wes Montgomery, and Charles Mingus. Filmed in Europe between 1958 and 1966, this set of Jazz Icons™ DVDs features concerts by seven of the most influential jazz artists of the 20th century captured in their prime and accompanied by some of the most legendary sidemen of the day. Previously forgotten or lost in the vaults of TV studios throughout Europe (in some cases for nearly 50 years!), they are now being made available for the first time. The running time for the DVDs range from 60 to 120 minutes. All seven Jazz Icons™ titles will be sold separately and as a deluxe boxed set with a bonus eighth disc featuring additional rare, never-before-seen, performances. The first series of Jazz Icons™ DVDs featuring classic vintage concerts by Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, Count Basie, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Buddy Rich, and Chet Baker, was released in September 2006 to universal critical acclaim, including feature stories in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times, as well as reviews in The New York Times and USA Today (including their holiday gift guide.) Each of the new Jazz Icons™ DVDs features one or more concerts filmed live in television studios and concert halls throughout Europe between 1958 and 1966, one of the most creative periods in jazz history. All seven DVDs feature performances that have never been officially released, and in many cases, the material is newly discovered and was never broadcast. In addition, every performance in the Jazz Icons™ DVD series has been transferred and re-mastered from the best-quality original masters yielding excellent sound and video. Among the wealth of highlights in the second series of Jazz Icons™ DVDs: o Three incredible John Coltrane concerts (filmed in 1960, 1961 and 1965) featuring over 90 minutes of music and including sideman appearances by several other jazz legends - Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz, McCoy Tyner, Eric Dolphy, and Elvin Jones. The 1960 concert, recorded in Germany with Miles Davis' band (sans Miles), features recently discovered performance footage that had been lost for over 45 years. o Two historic Dave Brubeck concerts from 1964 and 1966 featuring the classic Quartet with Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright, and Joe Morello. o An amazing 80-minute Duke Ellington big band concert from 1958 (the earliest known complete Ellington show on film) featuring Clark Terry, Johnny Hodges, and Ray Nance. o Three never-before-seen Sarah Vaughan shows (two from 1958 and one from 1964) showcasing "The Divine One" in great voice. o Three Wes Montgomery concerts from 1965 (a guitar-lovers dream) filmed in Holland, Belgium and England with liner notes by Pat Metheny and an afterword by Carlos Santana. o Three Dexter Gordon concerts filmed in 1963 and 1964 in Holland, Belgium and Switzerland that highlight the Bebop (and beyond) legend's classic style and silky tone. o Three exceptional concerts by Charles Mingus performed in April 1964 featuring the great Eric Dolphy on alto sax, flute and bass clarinet and recorded less than three months before Dolphy's death. Although the three concerts, recorded in Norway, Sweden and Belgium, are barely a week apart they showcase the band’s incredible diversity with each show featuring unique performances and arrangements. Each DVD also includes a 24-page booklet with insightful and informative essays by noted jazz historians as well as previously unseen photos and memorabilia. The second series of Jazz Icons™ DVDs will be unveiled at this year's Detroit Jazz Festival (August 31 - September 3). The series will be an integral part of the four-day festival, including performances from both Jazz Icons™ DVD series being broadcast on the Jumbotron screens during all set changes on the main stages. Total festival attendance is estimated at 750,000. In addition, Reelin' In The Years Productions and Naxos are proud to announce their partnership with The International Association for Jazz Education™ to further increase jazz awareness in schools. Proceeds from each sale of second series DVDs will go to the IAJE's Campaign for Jazz, providing support for student scholarships, jazz advocacy, and teacher training. To quote IAJE Executive Director Bill McFarlin, "The value the Jazz Icons series brings to the music classroom is incalculable. This is American jazz history of the highest order, and an unprecedented opportunity to see and hear our jazz masters at the height of their creative genius. We are proud to be a partner in this remarkable program, and are committed to bringing it to a larger audience." Reelin' In The Years Productions LLC is the world’s largest music footage library.

Pay for a subscription to SoundScan and you will know everything. It's strictly an idle and miserly curiosity.

I would be curious to see the full data, not such a terse article.

MUSIC - HEADLINES GOLD STANDARDS LARRY BLUMENFELD PRINT 135 words 7 July 2007 Billboard English Copyright 2007, VNU eMedia Inc. All rights reserved. When it comes to iconic jazz studio recordings with broad and enduring sales appeal, nothing touches Miles Davis' 1959 gem, "Kind of Blue" (Columbia). In the Nielsen SoundScan era alone (since 1991), the album has tallied 2.9 million units—currently, well more than 1,000 per week. Buoyed by the No. 25 pop hit "Take Five," Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" (Columbia), also from 1959, has topped 1 million sold in the SoundScan era, and averages at least 500 per week. John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" (1964, Impulse), which has moved more than 500,000 units since 1991, also consistently tallies several hundred copies per week. Charles Mingus' best seller in the SoundScan era is 1959's "Mingus Ah Um" (Columbia), with 166,000 sold.

Thanks for the info; sounds like it's worth getting, even with the minor sound problems (and who was still recording in mono in 1964?). Now I have to decide whether, considering I have 10 Mingus CDs, 3 double CDs, 2 box sets, 3 DVDs, and 2 books, I need yet another CD set. But then, can you ever have too much Mingus? By the way, the Jazz Icons website has a promotional video for their upcoming September releases and the Mingus concerts have very high quality video and audio. There goes some more money! Anything less than all Mingus is inadequate.

Henry Threadgill--Up Popped Two Lips Masters of the Delta Blues, The Friends of Charlie Patton (Yazoo)

There's a new Byard release on High Note--Live at the Keystone Corner. Has anyone heard it?

Gene Shaw--Debut in Blues (Argo) Jimmy Witherspoon--Spoon in London (Prestige) (only made it through one side as this turns out to be a dire album with a cool cover)

An autographed Sonny Stitt reed? Now that is a rare item. Sun Ra--the Invisible Shield (Saturn) (purchased at 1995 concert at the Knitting Factory by the posthumous Sun Ra Arkestra).

Today's LP acquisition: Sonny Stitt and Bunky Green--Soul in the Night (Cadet)

Thomas Chapin--Spirits Rebellious (Alacra) Gene Shaw--Breakthrough (Argo)

Here are a couple more songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DslfVT7sIQ0...ted&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VYfk3G4pe8

Seconded. I saw him at the Vanguard a few years back--he had his vibes and marimba set up right next to each other and would switch back and forth between the two instruments--it sounded amazing.

I don't know what Mr. Free likes, I'm recommending them because they are good records. It is true Hutcherson became more mainstream after the 1960s, but he remains a great player.

Try some of his post-Blue Note albums. Solo Quartet on Contemporary, and Skyline or Color Schemes on Landmark.

Cornell 1964 has not been released yet. Not Heard is really interesting music--but the sound is not that good--it was transferred from an LP. The Complete America recordings has been a favorite since I purchased the Reincarnation of a Lovebird 2LP set on Prestige many years ago. The group is first-rate: Charles McPherson, Bobby Jones, Eddie Preston, Jaki Byard, and Dannie Richmond. Mingus is a bit more sedate than usual, and the compositions performed are re-makes of Mingus classics--still it is highly recommended. The extra disc has a nice alternate of Peggy's Blue Skylight and an alternate of Pithecanthropus ... split in a couple parts.
