Outspoken, manipulative, independent thinking and oftentimes controversial, Artie Shaw (1910-2004) was one of the most popular stars of the Swing Era, who famously broke the color barrier by hiring the legendary Billie Holiday, Hot Lips Page and Roy Eldridge for his bands. His complex love-hate relationship with his own celebrity caused him to walk away from ...
Dave Stryker: Goes to the Movies (2024)
Jazz artists have been recording “at the movies" albums since 1962, when arranger-conductor Manny Albam recorded Jazz Goes to the Movies for Impulse. Jerome Richardson, Eddie Harris, Erroll Garner and even Bill Evans recorded Hollywood compilation LPs along with dozens of other jazz artists. Prior, there were Broadway, movie and TV show soundtracks centered on one ...
Documentary: Lee Morgan: I Called Him Morgan
Lee Morgan is still not fully appreciated for all of the music he left behind and how he changed the sound of the trumpet. The glorious way he bent notes and tore into solos with economy and fervor became a fingerprint of sorts. He first stood out as a purposeful hard-bop player in Art Blakey & ...

King Crimson’s 'In The Court Of The Crimson King – King Crimson At 50' Documentary By Toby Amies Coming To Select Us Theaters Opening November 3rd!
Just as King Crimson has been, for more than half a century, an atypical rock band, this film is a refreshingly atypical music documentary.

Bill Evans and Tony Bennett on TV
By October 1976, Bill Evans and Tony Bennett had recorded two albums of duets for Tony's short-lived Improv label. I've always had mixed feelings about the recordings. For me, it's strange to hear Evans as second fiddle to anyone and even stranger to hear Tony having to defer, musically, to his accompanist. But strangest of all, ...
