Solos: Jazz Sessions on dvd

[six string]

I recently picked up an Andrew Hill performance from this series that originated in Toronto. Each show consists of whole songs without interuption with short bits of interview/talking by the artist. My disc is 50 minutes so I assume they all run about that long. There are quite a few artists in the series. The list can be found at www.solosjazz.com

I can only speak for the Hill disc but it's well done. I don't normally by many music videos but I'm such a fan of Andrew Hill that I had to have it. I can always rip the music to a cdr to listen to in the car or portablly since the songs are very discreet from the talking in the program. I don't like music dvds that interupt the music with blather regardless of how good the blather is and the constant shifting camera angles is also a big turn off. Still, you can play this and not feel like you have to sit there and watch it if you don't want to.

Do you have more information about the series? Who else is included, when were they done and by whom? Thanks.

Go to the link above (it's not hot so sorry but I'm a bit of a luddite). You'll have to cut and paste. It's at the end of the first paragraph.
