Yep, have the book and the DVD. Just re-watched the DVD last night. Excellent stuff but my German is not quite sufficient to fully comprehend the interviews.

I would have LOVED to have been there and to have SEEN these guys play together..... but then I say that with most classic Jazz albums I play.  I envy my parents.  My father was into Jazz when it was popular and live performances were hot.  He and my mother went to many live performances of the great ones.

At 77 and having listened to jazz since 1957 I'm probably of your father's generation and may have had similar experiences. On the albums I listen to - they range from Jack Teagarden to Eric Alexander - I've usually heard at least one of the artists in person. For example, on your Blue Note 1540 album I've seen Mobley, Morgan and Silver, but not Byrd, Chambers and Persip. And all this on this side of the Atlantic!

Just got it, very good -- some of the best Sulieman there is (love the way he play on "Confirmation"), Denard is intriguing, and Jamil Nasser hadn't yet begun to use the IMO nasty pickup he came to use in later years. Though the sound quality on the NY party disc takes some getting used to, I did.
