Dan Gould Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Is that Hawkins a Jazz 625 concert or something that hasn't been seen in years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Is that Hawkins a Jazz 625 concert or something that hasn't been seen in years? The date and lineup with Sweets certainly sounds like the Jazz 625 session. The only copy I've seen of this one has had a less than brilliant video quality, as if it was taken from a back-up tape. The Farmer/Hall sounds like the Jazz 625 - recently televised over here. Edited May 27, 2009 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 The website only says the following: We are very pleased to announce the lineup for Jazz Icons Series 4. There was much deliberation as to whether or not there would even be a new series this year, but we've thrown caution to the wind and have decided to do a little economic stimulation of our own. Here are the titles, coming out in October of 2009: Coleman Hawkins- Live in '64- (w/ Sweets Edison) Art Blakey- Live in '65- (w/ Freddie Hubbard) Max Roach - Live in '68 Jimmy Smith- Live in '65 & '69 Woody Herman- Live in '64 Anita O'Day- Live In '63 & '70 Art Farmer- Live In '64- (w/ Jim Hall) Boxed Set featuring bonus performances, including a one-hour unseen Coleman Hawkins concert from the Adolphe Sax Festival in Belgium in 1962. We will be announcing more details in the coming weeks as to song titles and sidemen. We are confident that this series continues the legacy of quality and commitment to excellence that has made the first three installments of Jazz Icons the most respected and critically-acclaimed DVD series in jazz history. Your support has always been a big part of the success of this series and we once again ask for your help in spreading the word. Now more than ever, in these tough economic times, and with retail stores disappearing every day, your grassroots efforts help keep this series going.

medjuck Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Damn! I'd probably cherry pick these but I want that one hour Hawkins concert. (I wish they'd use slimmer boxes-- my shelves are getting full.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
