Joe Lovano Nonet DVD

[MartyJazz]

For those of you who dig the CDs Lovano has made with his nonet - this excludes you StereoJack - I highly recommend a DVD that arrived today and which I'm currently enjoying. Ttitled "Joe Lovano Nonet: the Paris Concert" (July, 2001), it contains nine tracks totaling over 100 minutes plus a 14 minute interview of JL himself. Tracks include "On a Misty Night", "If You Could See Me Now", "Hot House", "Theme for Ernie", "Charlie Chan", "Good Bait", "Embraceable You", "52nd Street Theme" and "Focus". I obtained the DVD from this wonderful website that has a great number of jazz DVDs:

They are a hell of a band. I'd like to see this.

It's a great concert. But I was disappointed by the fact that the sound is mono only (on both the stereo and 5.1 tracks), which is odd for a 2001 concert released on DVD.

BTW, I reviewed the Archie Shepp DVD from the same label here:

This is on my shelf unplayed. I'm gonna have to find the time for it.

Thanks for the link. I have the Shepp DVD as well and while I do not think he was playing as well in August '94 as when I regularly saw him circa 1978-82, it too is a worthwhile pickup.

Agreed! Archie Shepp was at the peak of his powers in the mid to late 70's, both on the more introverted duo dates for Steeple Chase and the live recordings ("Steam" on Enja, Montreux One and Two on black lion, etc).

Thanks for the heads up; I'm a huge Lovano Nonet fan and I also like buying stuff from the guys at ejazzlines.com. In fact, going to make this one short and head over to the website to buy now!
