Dando Um Rolê (1977)

Ella and Basie: The Perfect Match '79 é um concerto em DVD de 85 minutos, cujo próprio título é enganador - Count Basie aparece em apenas uma música no final de um bom, mas não ótimo, desempenho de Ella Fitzgerald em 1979 no Montreux Jazz Festival. O resto do tempo, ela é acompanhada por seu trio de sempre e pela orquestra de Basie. Uma produção pobre e o que resta é um disco para os fãs de Fitzgerald, que ainda não têm o álbum lançado anteriormente do concerto. Por outro lado, que eu saiba, este é o único concerto disponível de Ella Fitzgerald capturado em vídeo, o que aumenta um pouco a sua importância. Não há dúvidas de seus fãs podem assistir e se tranquilizar porque ela é de fato uma lenda, e novos espectadores que compartilharem a experiência vão concordar que ela tem muito swing. Apenas certifique-se de que os novatos também ouçam algo como seu Gershwin Songbook para terem uma ideia mais completa do seu talento.

An unprecedented collection by Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti, Live At The Shrine includes both a concert film/DVD documentary and a live concert CD, singularly conveying the beauty and joy of Afrobeat music – a combustible cocktail fusing jazz, funk, and traditional African music – while also communicating it’s fascinating roots and politics which began with Femi’s father Fela Kuti, the creator and godfather of Afrobeat. Live At The Shrine takes place in the Kuti family’s hometown of Lagos at the Africa Shrine, where every Sunday Femi plays to a packed house of revelers. With music as his weapon of choice and the Africa Shrine a temple of protest song, Femi continues his father’s fight, railing against the corrupt Nigerian government and staunchly defending PanAfricanism. Capturing this experience through interviews, street scenes, and the music itself, Live At The Shrine captures the spirit, passion, and hope, of a man and a people who are fighting.

A Film About Kids and Music is a project arising from a music class.

The musical traditions of the eastern and western worlds are bridged through the improvisations of Bombay, India-born percussionist/vocalist Trilok Gurtu. Gurtu’s mastery of post-bop jazz has not gone unnoticed. Downbeat magazine named him “best percussionist” in three critic and popularity polls and proclaimed, “musically, the world is his stage”. Jazz magazine, Straight No Chaser took a similar view, writing, “this music has a transcendental quality and removes any obstacles that lie between western and eastern improvised music.” Gurtu’s eclectic approach has enabled him to collaborate with most of the world’s greatest musicians.

Zawinul is onstage with the WDR Big Band from Germany and a special international rhythm section. The music is a tribute to the pioneering 1970s fusion collective Weather Report, originally with Wayne Shorter on sax, Zawinul on keys, and later Jaco Pastorius on bass (among other personnel). Zawinul and the WDR play "Brown Street" and "Carnavalito." Arranger Vince Mendoza re-imagines this colorful, small-group music for Europe's longest-lived jazz orchestra. And they can play!
