Durium Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Is the Robert Altman DVD "Kansas City - Jazz '34" available some where? More about this great documentary in my Keepswinging web log Keep swinging Durium Keep swinging Quote
robviti Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 i don't know that this has ever been released on dvd, but there's a vhs copy on sale on amazon's marketplace. Quote
medjuck Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I thought it had only been shown on tv and never released for home video because of rights problems. If Amazon 's got it I guess I'm wrong. Quote
Durium Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Posted March 11, 2006 I guess that the VHS tape on Amazon is the Robert Altman film "Kansas City". I was talking about the Robert Altman DVD "Kansas City - Jazz '34". Altman tells about the Kansas City music style of the 1930s and uses the complete jam sessions he filmed for the film "Kansas City" to illustrate. Really a great documentary. Durium Quote

Durium when i responded to your thread, a used copy of this tape was available from a seller on amazon marketplace for $19.99. i assume someone else, possibly even another member of this board, bought it.

That's the one, Jazzshrink. Thanks !! Quote
robviti Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 not sure why you're thanking me, since it's gone now. but anyway, you're welcome. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 I hope that is a lot better than the movie. . . which in my opinion bit big! Quote
Free For All Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 The movie was a big disappointment. I even thought the music (which was the best part) came off as self-conscious and contrived. I'm usually an Altman fan, too. I just didn't get this one. Jennifer Jason Leigh, who I've liked in other films, was awful in this one with that cartoon-like accent, a generic Betty Boop-type of thing. There was another movie where she had a similar accent, The Hudsucker Proxy, and IMHO it worked better there because of the surrealistic atmosphere of the film. I would like to see this KC '34 release, though. Hopefully it will come out on DVD. Quote
