This incredible boxed set features nine live concert DVDs from pioneers and legends of jazz. This DVD series features full-length concerts and in-studio performances by the greatest legends of jazz, filmed all over the world from the 1950s through the 1970s. Beautifully transferred from the original masters, none of these concerts has ever been officially released on home video, an din many cases, the material was never broadcast.
Each DVD features a 16-page booklet with an essay written by an authoritative jazz historian as well as rare and unseen photos. Jazz Icons DVDs are produced with the full support and cooperation of the artists or their estates, who, in most cases, are contributing rare personal photographs, memorabilia, and forewords.
