Darren and others: Out of the blue yesterday, I received this interesting jazz catalog in the mail - Jamey Aebersold Jazz. It is mainly a catalog for musicians, and it has over 100 instructional books on how to play (Improvisation, Fusion, Latin/Bossa etc.). None of that is of interest to me, as I can barely work a cdp, much less a guitar or piano.

But in the back, they have dozens of concert DVDs that I thought may be of interest to you (very reasonably priced too). Here are some examples:

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Live At Ronnie Scotts

Art Pepper - Notes from a Jazz Survivor

Arturo Sandoval - For Love or Country, and Jazz Legend

Charles Mingus - Triumph of the Underdog, and Live at Montreux 1975

Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, and Lee Konitz - Woodstock Jazz Festival

Count Basie at Carnegie Hall

Dizzy Gillespie and the U.N. Orchestra - Live at London's Royal Festival Hall

Ella Fitzgerald - Something to Live For

The Four Tenors - John Coltrane, Ben Webster, Sonny Rollins, and Charles Lloyd (a collection of 1960's TV performances)

John Coltrane - Jazz Casual

Woody Herman - The Complete Session

Several Dave Brubeck DVDs

Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie - Founding Fathers of Beebop

and many others, all between $15 - $25.

Their website (which I haven't been to) is www.jazzbooks.com.

Thought someone here may be interested.

Thanks for that post JDaniel. The website will be of good service. You can always pm me if you have any more info like that. I'm a stone jazz freak! :yes: :yes: :yes: NYV

Nice looking list, Thanks for the link, David

Cool! Thanks for the post JD. I'll certainly look into some of those.

Of particular interest to me would certainly be Dave Brubeck. Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers and some Charles Mingus from 1975 also. And, you can't wrong with Dizzy and Parker either.
