New release from Mosaic Jazz Icons (Series #5) - 6 DVD Set John Coltrane—Live In France 1965 features the Classic John Coltrane Quartet at the peak of their powers. Includes the only public performance of “Ascension" as a quartet piece and of A Love Supreme which they'd recorded eight months earlier and had become an instant and influential hit in the jazz world. Every night this band played was a major event and spiritual experience for those who witnessed it. Thelonious Monk—Live In France 1969 is a unique find. Just Monk, a grand piano and two cameras—no audience, no sidemen, no emcee, no clock-watching stage manager, no set list, no distractions. The result was an astonishingly intimate and revealing portrait of a man and his music. The viewer can virtually see this usually impenetrable artist thinking in real time. An extraordinary document of one of the most original composers of the 20th century. Johnny Griffin—Live In France 1971 captures this tenor saxophone virtuoso om full flight. He possessed a magnificent, even tone through- out the range of the tenor saxophone and the ability to navigate the fastest tunes and the most sophisticated chord changes with seemingly effortless precision. Toss in his soulfulness and inventiveness and you have a recipe for genius. Art Taylor's drumming here drive Griff and guest Dizzy Gillespie to incredible heights. Rahsaan Roland Kirk—Live In France 1972 drives home the impact of seeing him live which was a completely different experience from listening to his music on record. It was an overwhelming and joyous event; music just poured out of him like a gusher. He was an ever-thinking force of energy who swept the audience up into his orbit. This 1972 concert with an excellent band is a perfect example. On Freddie Hubbard—Live In France 1972, he and his quintet with Junior Cook and George Cables stretch out on three of his greatest compositions of the period: “Straight Life," “The Intrepid Fox" and “First Light." Hubbard and Junior Cook share a common ground and deep empathy and the rhythm section led by Cables give the hornmen all the push they crave. http://www.allaboutjazz.c...p?id=88941 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.
