MartyJazz Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) Technically, this is not about "jazz in print" but I think this post belongs here rather than in the "Miscellaneous Music" section. Beginning with an article in today's NY TImes about various photographs now being made available by the New York Public Library online, I went to the site, did some "wandering" and came upon a site that should be of interest to many of us here. It's the Louis Armstrong Jazz Oral History Project in which you can view various video clips of key jazz artists being interviewed or talking about aspects of the music. Some of the artists shown include: Nat Adderley, Art Farmer, Jimmy Heath, Chico Hamilton, Yusef Lateef, Abbey Lincoln, Art Taylor, Clark Terry, Charles Tolliver, McCoy Tyner, Randy Weston and more. Shame the clips aren't longer but what there is is "cherce": http://www.nypl.org/research/sc/scl/MULTIM...T/jazzhist.html Edited March 3, 2005 by MartyJazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 One more very interesting site you dug up. Many thanks for bringing this one to our attention, MartyJazz. I've watched a couple of interviews and will explore the site in the next few days.

couw Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 if you click the [clip] links and change the ".html" at the end to ".mov" you end up with a direct URL to the clips, which allows you to download them to your harddisk for offline enjoyment.
