Eugene is an extraordinary talent in classic guitar, but he dreams of being a famous Blues guitarist. So he investigates to find a storied lost song. He asks the legendary Blues musician Willie Brown to help him, but Willie demands to free him from the old-people's prison first and to really learn the blues on the way to it's origin: Mississippi Delta. Eugene doesn't know yet about Willie's deal with the devil, that he now wants to revoke. -- by Tom Zoerner

Filmed in Japan in 1987, this tribute to the late jazz genius John Coltrane is outstanding. The musicians, sax players Wayne Shorter and Dave Liebman, pianist Richie Beirach, bassist Eddie Gomez, and drummer Jack DeJohnette--all great in their own right--keep the eulogizing minimal and instead focus on interpreting a small handful of Coltrane's important works. Interpreting is key here, as the band often uses Coltrane's material as a jumping-off point before spiraling into inspired, freeform improvisation. Their best playing is showcased during two tunes of Coltrane's seminal album, Giant Steps: "Mr. PC" is upbeat, dizzying, and comes very close to rockin', while "Naima" (one of Coltrane's most lyrical, gorgeous pieces) is full of atmosphere and somber emotion. The band lets it all hang out (and nearly falls apart) during "Impressions," but somehow manages to stay balanced enough to pull it off. The sound is perfect here, and while the visuals don't offer much to look at, all you really need to do is listen. Coltrane would be pleased. ~ Dave McCoy , New York Times

This is a remarkable film. In 1968, Michael and Christian Blackwood shot extensive footage of Thelonious Monk not only onstage, but off. Twenty years later Bruce Ricker edited the priceless film and used other clips and new interviews to put together a pretty full portrait of the unique pianist/composer. In some of the more memorable scenes, Monk is seen lying in bed ordering room service, arguing with producer Teo Macero at a recording session, and appearing on stage with an under-rehearsed (and visibly struggling) octet; fortunately, the latter group quickly improves after a rough start. Tenor man Charlie Rouse is often prominent, but also seen are flügelhornist Clark Terry, altoist Phil Woods, and Johnny Griffin on tenor. However, the main focus is on Monk, and there are many extraordinary moments. This is a consistently intriguing and informative film that all bop and modern jazz followers should see. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG

& Tangaria Quartet
Album: Live in Marciac 2006
Format : PAL /vob Video
Région code: 2

Editeur : Universal Music France S.A
Date de sortie du DVD : 12 février 2007

Accordionist Richard Galliano's Tangaria Quartet made its studio debut earlier this year with the thrilling Luz Negra (Milan Records, 2007), recorded in Brazil. The group's warm-up gig for those sessions happened a month earlier, in August 2006, at France's Marciac Festival, and, happily, the performance was recorded.

Like the studio set, Live In Marciac 2006 is a fiery, foot-on-the-accelerator mix of valse musettes, straight-ahead jazz, tunes derived from European and South American folk songs, a handful of tangos and a splash of the classics. It's physical, attacking music, and it pauses to catch its breath on just two tracks (the wistful, elegiac "Spleen" and the prettily balletic "Sanfona").

History:
For its third edition, the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal set up shop in the “Latin Quarter” of St.Denis Street, where a stage was set up at the corner of St.Denis and Ontario Streets for free shows. The Festival catered to 80,000 jazz-lovers in five venues and produced 14 television specials and 29 radio programs.
The Festival also officially became a non-profit organization with the aim of showcasing local jazz musicians, and even launched its own record label, featuring recordings of Festival performances, which was distributed by CBS Records. These included the Orchestre Sympathique, the Vic Vogel Big Band and Oliver Jones with Charlie Biddle. The 1st edition of the Concours de Jazz, designed to honour Canadian jazz musicians, was won by Michel Donato. Festival activities now included screenings of jazz films, dance, and bustling street activity. The public and media success of the event was such that the organizers were overwhelmed: additional free outdoor concerts were scheduled to satisfy the demand. The Festival also featured Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Sonny Rollins, Jaco Pastorius, Buddy Rich and Maneige.

Norman Granz is one of the actors the most important non-musicians of the history of the jazz and nobody else than so much contributed to him in bet on stage, recording and immortalisation of jazz concerts. This series of performances of the prestigious Jazz festival of Montreux pays tribute now to this job available in DVD for the first time.

     Представляю диск Herbie Hancock Possibilities. Диск вышел в 2006 году, и я дал бы Grammy ему, а не River The Joni Letters (2007).
     Здесь действительно музыкант показывает нам свои гениальные возможности (possibilities). И под его влиянием все люди, приглашенные для записи этого диска, выкладываются по-полной!
     В принципе этот диск можно найти в сети. Но в качестве бонуса прилагаю фильм о записи этого диска, который является раритетом! Наслаждайтесь! Леонид.
     This documentary gives insight into the working process of one of jazz's most innovative artists, as is traces the making of Herbie Hancock's 2005 record, POSSIBILITIES. On it, the keyboardist collaborates with such unlikely suspects as Christina Aguilera, Sting, Damien Rice, Brian Eno, and Carlos Santana.
