TV recording of the famous concert captured on the Anniversary and Serenity CDs. Some of the finest and most beautiful jazz on record. Its fun to watch live. Getz fiddles a lot with the microphone and loses his cool. Rufus Ried looks cool in his T-shirt. Lewis and Barron's body language.... Plus the hip audience with its syncopated clapping. A joy!

This is a very classy documentary. Its full of film clips of Grappelli, and of course Django Reinhardt. If you want to see what all the fuss is about Django's playing, this the place to start. It has every Django clip available. Grappelli's post-Reinhardt music was exceptional, but invariably overshadowed by his illustrious partner, so this redresses the balance.

A great period for Brubeck and Desmond. I'm hooked on Brubeck's music and style from this period personally. Highly rated by the reviewers.

Although I've read Pepper's harrowing autobiography, nothing quite prepared me for the film's impact. The real plus points are seeing Pepper play live. It would be good to have a CD of the specific music played during the film. Its good stuff.

Its Billy Holiday's Fine and Mellow song that most reviewers write about. Quite right. Its a magic moment. The rest of the DVD is good too. There a good reason why Miles and Billy are on the front. Classic jazz.

The perfect line-up for storming performances.

Interesting to see and hear Peterson play with two basses (and great bass players at that - Brown and NHOP). Of course, Peterson had the talent to play and out-play even these legends, and he does...in the nicest possible way.

I started my jazz collection with Blue Notes (Ike Quebec's Blue and Sentimental - what a place to start in retropect). I loved the music, the cover photos and the type-face lay-out of the back of the records/CDs. Just like those CDs, this DVD does what it says on the sleeve. Since then, I've strayed far and wide, but there's still nothing quite like putting on a Blue Note.
