sidewinder Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 If it's the one I think it is, this was a documentary commisioned by the BBC and broadcast on BBC4 a few years ago. It's pretty good - segments on Mingus, Miles, Ornette and Brubeck. No great revelations but very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzjet Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 If it's the one I think it is, this was a documentary commisioned by the BBC and broadcast on BBC4 a few years ago. It's pretty good - segments on Mingus, Miles, Ornette and Brubeck. No great revelations but very enjoyable. It was produced by Something Else productions and focused on Kind of Blue, The Shape of Jazz To Come, Mingus Ah Um and Time Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find any sign of it on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I recently ordered this book which seems to cover some similar territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
