Yes, worth watching and listening to any time. Particularly since she has also been graced with excellent reissues (and in some cases first-time discoveries) in recent years.

Can't watch in the US for legal reasons.

It is mentioned in this film that Blue Note sent her in 2001 a check of $40,000.-- against royalties.

We can see also Mingus praising her wishing to work with her.

Tom Evered brought her the money.

Is this a clip from the Mingus film? I remember him talking about Jutta and how he preferred her playing to Toshiko's, but I don't remember him saying he wanted to work with her. Curiously, the Mingus film is 1966. Hadn't Jutta stopped playing by then? I am not sure when her last documented gigs were. No later than 1962 or so, IIRC.

Would like to see this some way. Perhaps there's a workaround.

A workaround? Had not thought of that.
