Filmed in Europe between 1958 and 1975, this third set of Jazz Icons DVDs features concerts by seven of the most influential jazz artists of the 20th century captured in their prime and accompanied by some of the most legendary sidemen of the day. Previously forgotten or lost in the vaults of TV studios throughout Europe (in some cases for nearly 50 years!), they are now being made available for the first time.
The running time for the DVDs range from 60 to 100 minutes. Deluxe boxed set with a bonus eighth disc featuring additional rare, never-before-seen, performances. Each of the new Jazz Icons DVDs features one or more concerts filmed live in television studios and concert halls throughout Europe between 1958 and 1975, one of the most creative periods in jazz history. All seven DVDs feature performances that have never been officially released, and in many cases, the material is newly discovered and was never broadcast. In addition, every performance in the Jazz Icons DVD series has been transferred and re-mastered from the best-quality original masters yielding excellent sound and video.
