7 New DVDs of Vintage Concerts from the Critically

“The release of Jazz Icons™ is like the unearthing of a
musical time capsule—an audio-visual treasure trove
of the music that changed the world. From Big Band
and Bebop to Dixieland and Cool, it’s all here and it all
swings. These jazz legends, from Dizzy and Count to
Louis and Ella, are the Bachs and Beethovens of our
generation. From an educational standpoint this series
is a gift to our culture. I’m honored to be a featured
part of it, but I’m more thrilled just to sit down and
watch it with my grandkids.”
—Quincy Jones
“This is like the discovery of a bonanza of previously unknown
manuscripts by William Shakespeare.”
—Nat Hentoff, Wall Street Journal
is an ongoing DVD series featuring full-length concerts and
studio performances by the greatest legends of jazz, filmed
all over the world from the 1950s through the 1970s. Each of
these DVDs features rare performances that have never before
been officially released on home video, and in many cases,
were never broadcast.

● john coltrane • Live in ’60, ’61 & ’65
● Dave Brubeck • Live in ’64 & ’66
● duke ellington • Live in ’58
● sarah vaughan • Live in ’58 & ’64
