brownie Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The very official INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel) is opening its jazz vaults this week. This includes about on hundred hours of video and audio archives. Some of the rarely seen video can already be seen now: - the Duke Ellington Orchestra at Salle Pleyel in November 1958 Duke Ellington et son Orchestre - the Quincy Jones Orchestra in March 1960 Quincy Jones Big Band - a Daniel Humair show in 1961 with Jackie McLean Daniel Humair special show - Roland Kirk in 1970 Roland Kirk - Sun Ra in 1972 Sun Ra - Jazz Giants (Dizzy, Getz, McLean, Eckstine, Max Roach, etc...) honored Jazz Giants honored and there is a lot more... The videos can be downloaded or transferred to DVD at reasonable costs. Better read french if you want to upload any of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I never thought this would happen!!! Is this permanent? Bertrand. By permanent, I mean did they clear the rights? There were some problems years ago with some CDs they put out - someone had forgotten to get permission. 6 euros is a bargain.

brownie Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 By permanent, I mean did they clear the rights? INA say it is all legal. They claim they cleared the legal problems with the various rights holders and musicians unions. But I have not seen any footage or audio of Charles Mingus yet. However there are a couple of Erroll Garner videos available. This to mention a couple of musicians whose estates are notoriously difficult to deal with! The only Thelonious Monk video available is this famous 1969 interview. With the great story about Monk and Bud traveling together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Weiss Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Bud, Pierre Michelot, Klook, CT, Barney Wilen - 1959, Club St. Germain Everyone's in top form. If Barney Wilen wasn't checking out Johnny Griffin I'll eat my beret. Too bad the preview of the Daniel Humair Show didn't include any JMac. Hilarious to watch Monk's interviewer futilely trying to get Monk to agree with him that Round Midnight and Crepescule With Nellie are his two single masterpieces. When Monk replies he likes them all equally, the interviewer tells Monk, "then you must think that everything you write is stamped with genius," to which Monk says "merci beaucoup."

bertrand Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) 1) Monk and Bill Evans were the estates with which there were problems 10 years ago, IIRC. 2) I know they have a Hutcherson/Land video from Antibes 1969; I hope that pops up. Bertrand. P.S. Message edited to remove reference to a posting that was deleted. Edited November 3, 2009 by bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 1) In that segment from Nancy in 1979 (including a snippet of the Shepp big band playing a Cal Massey tune), the guy with the handlebar mustache makes a statement that comes off as borderline racist. 2) For 4 euros, you can buy an 11 minute video of Jackie Mac in the early 60s playing 'Francisco', 'Lover Man' and 'Minor March'. If I get the DVD, will it play on a player in the U.S.? Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 If I get the DVD, will it play on a player in the U.S.? Will let you know after I ship an INA DVD to a friend in the States. He had too much trouble getting it from INA direct. The INA operator I talked to could not answer the question!

brownie Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) I have seen the Marlene footage before but not the Django Reinhardt sequence! Too bad there is no sound for the Django's. A Tabarin on Danse le Jitterbug. The January 1, 1944 date for the film is generic. This was filmed in late 1944 after the Liberation of Paris!
