2011: Adele - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [full dvd] Music video
2011: Adele - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [full dvd]
     Artist: Adele
     Film: Live At The Royal Albert Hall
     Label: XL, Columbia
     Year: 2011
     Format: Full dvd-rip (own rip)
     Time: 68:50
     Size: 14 x 300mb (including covers)
     AMG rating: 2011: Adele - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [full dvd]

On september 2nd 2011, Adele played the Royal Albert Hall in London.....A dream come true moment and a highlight of her record breaking year with the album '21'.
     This is the full-length concert, with behind the scenes footage!

Live at the Royal Albert Hall features British vocal sensation Adele performing at the storied venue during her promotional tour for her 2011 studio effort, 21. Backed by her rock ensemble as well as a string section, Adele runs through most of 21 while adding in earlier hits off her 2008 debut, 19, including "Chasing Pavements," "Hometown Glory," and "My Same." Primarily, however, Adele focuses here on material off 21, including such cuts as "Rumour Has It," "Turning Tables," "Someone Like You," the über-ballad "Take It All," and the funky hit "Rolling in the Deep." In perfect vocal form here prior to her 2011 throat surgery, Adele is the epitome of a burnished soul diva with a singer/songwriter's heart. Beautifully recorded and performed, Live at the Royal Albert Hall conveys all the drama of Adele's music and is the perfect companion piece to 21.

2000: Fernando Trueba - Calle 54 Music video

2000: Fernando Trueba - Calle 54
     Film director: Fernando Trueba
     Film: Calle 54
     Label: Calle 54 records
     Year: 2000
     Genre: Latin Jazz
     Format: AVI
     Size: 682.02 MB

     It is convention to cite The Buena Vista Social Club as a point of comparison with this documentary but that is somewhat misleading. True, both deal with Latino musical culture, but whereas the former was part musicological foray, part guided tour, Calle 54 is focussed exclusively not only on more contemporary performers, but specifically the nexus between Latin music and that distinctively New York phenomenon, jazz. Whereas the former explored the laid-back style of the Cuban son as performed, in the main, by a group of genial superannuants, the latter is a showcase of some of the finest Latin jazz players in the world. It’s the difference between a vintage car fair and a Formula 1 event.

Not only are the musical performances of the highest calibre, ranging from solo piano to big band, Trueba’s approach is to concentrate completely on the music. Each number is introduced with minimal contextualisation, following each other virtually back-to-back. This departs from the usual approach to music documentaries, Buena Vista included, which tends to intersperse performances with more discursive aspects. This makes for an intense, if somewhat exhausting, 93 minutes. Whilst those familiar with the performers will no doubt appreciate this more deeply, for the novice Trueba's film provides an exciting primer into some remarkably sophisticated music and will probably initiate a trip to a specialty music store to seek out more. My only quibble is who decided to subtitle place names?

     Chick Corea and Gary Burton, both hugely influential figures in the world of jazz and pioneers of Jazz-Rock, first recorded together in 1978 resulting in the album Crystal Silence. Almost 20 years later they renewed this fruitful collaboration at the Munich Philharmonie to a rapturous response, a concert captured on this DVD.

     "... one of the finest jazz productions that has been released on any media. Burton and Ozone are both phenomenal musicians and both sound and vision are also up to the very high standard of the music ... the duo is a complete entity in itself, brought about by the sheer brilliance of the performers."

     The TV show presented here, which opens with Pass playing alone on six wonderful tunes, was made during a European tour that took place some months before the recording of their second album as a duet, titled precisely Fitzgerald & Pass... Again, taped on february 8, 1976. Thus, it presents some tunes that would be part of that lp, making this program (and probably the whole tour) a kind of rehearsal for the songs to be included on the studio album. That's the case of "One note samba", "Nature boy", "The one I love (Belongs to somebody else)". However, we have also here the only known versions by Ella and Joe as a duet of no less than six songs. That's the case of "You turned the tables on me", "Cry me a river", "You are the sunshine of my life", "Avalon", "Stormy weather" and the classic "How high the moon", with wich Ella closes the show inserting quotations of, among others, "Mack the knife", "Desafinado" and "Summertime".

2007: Joe Zawinul - A Musical Portrait Music video
2007: Joe Zawinul - A Musical Portrait     Artist: Joe Zawinul

     Year: 2007

     Time: 73 min.
     Size: 597 MB
     AMG rating: 2007: Joe Zawinul - A Musical Portrait

      This excellent, BBC-sponsored documentary on the late Joe Zawinul works beautifully on many levels. It's a vivid snapshot of Zawinul's lifestyle and music as of 2004, a jaunt down memory lane through his birthplace, Vienna -- and sadly, a memorial, for he died only two months before this film was released on DVD in 2007. After viewing the opening sequence -- Zawinul at 71 working out on the punching bag in his backyard overlooking the Pacific in Malibu -- you can hardly believe that cancer would claim this vital, vigorous personality only three years later. He takes filmmaker Mark Kidel into his music rooms, demonstrating the sounds that he can extract from his four keyboards, exulting at the prospect of being able to compose by improvising directly into a computer. He gives us a guided tour of his old Viennese haunts, recounting some horrible childhood memories during the Allied bombardments of World War II. But before long, we are deposited in front of Zawinul's just-opened Viennese nightclub, Birdland, where the percolating, African-accented, electric music he makes -- presented in full-length selections by the 2004 edition of the Zawinul Syndicate -- completely transcends the gemütlich atmosphere and Old World architecture of his hometown. As a video biography, the portrait does have a few holes; the hugely important periods spent with Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis, and Weather Report are merely glanced at, and Zawinul's legendary bravado and pricklier moods are tactfully not on display. But Zawinul does 'fess up to a fascinating turning point in his life, a 1966 LSD trip that completely changed his approach to the keyboard -- or so he claims (in other interviews, he said that he never touched drugs). In the end, this film breathes an air of contentment, that Zawinul at this point in his life seemed to have a struck a satisfying balance between his Malibu dream home, a strong foothold in his hometown, and an undiminished sense of curiosity that few people his age have. The bonus material includes two other equally dynamic performances by the Syndicate in Cardiff, Wales -- corroborative proof that Zawinul always tried to live in the now.

     This DVD combines a 1973 appearance by the Sonny Rollins Quartet with Walter Davis Jr., Yoshiaki Masuo, Bob Cranshaw and David Lee (#1-4) with a penetrating portrait of Ben Webster (a film by Johan Van Der Keuken), which captures him rehearsing with Don Byas, reminiscing about Ellington with Hilton Jefferson, visiting a pool hall and a zoo and talking about his life.

     "This performance adds up to greatness and, in close ups, Sonny sweats hard-genius only appears effortless" ~ Kevin Lynch, DOWNBEAT

     "This film compresses the life and times of the expatriate tenor sax giant… Here is a masterful example of film making that truly penetrates the heart of this big, sad, lonely bachelor" ~ Leonard Feather, LOS ANGELES TIMES
2011: Gerry Mulligan - Jazz America Music video
2011: Gerry Mulligan - Jazz America     Artist: Gerry Mulligan
     Album: Jazz America
     Label: MVD Visual
     Year: 1981

     Format, bitrate: DVDrip, AVI
     Time: 60 min
     Size: 469 MB

     Gerry Mulligan's only recording during 1981 was this video made at Eric's in New York City. There are several unusual aspects about this performance, which will make it of interest to fans of the late baritone saxophonist. First, the program consists of seven originals, even though the package only lists two songs; a shorter version of the video was released separately. Secondly, a new composition is premiered, the loping "'Round About Sundown," which was evidently never recorded on CD or LP by Mulligan. Finally, this video marks his only recording with any of the members of this rhythm section, which consists of pianist Harold Danko, bassist Frank Luther and drummer Billy Hart, all of whom acquit themselves very well. Mulligan, as usual, is in top form. While the video footage is excellent, the soundtrack is rather muddy, possibly in part because of the difficult acoustics within the venue. Highlights include a stirring rendition of "For an Unfinished Woman," the playful "Walk on the Water" (featuring a relatively rare appearance by the leader on soprano sax), his lovely ballad tribute to Billy Strayhorn ("Song for Strayhorn") and the rousing closer, "K-4 Pacific." This video will not be easy to find but it is worth the effort.

     Size: 237 & 238 MB

     The swinging tenor-saxophonist, joined by pianist Roger Kellaway, bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Larry Bunker, is seen at the late lamented Dante's in Los Angeles, 1970. The quartet jams on a cooking 'Zoot's Piece' (based on 'Doxy'), a tender 'My Old Flame' and a medium-tempo 'On the Trail.' Sims is in typically brilliant form, Kellaway is particularly creative on a fast blues piece called 'Motoring Along.' Highly recommended and, in its own way, priceless.
~ Scott Yanow, CODA Magazine


     This is an attractive souvenir of Los Angeles yesterday. Hampton Hawes appears to good advantage, where the musical atmosphere is cool. He finds the form that distinguished his contemporary trio albums in 'Stella by Starlight.' Ray Brown steals the opening blues, and Bob Cooper also shines on it with Prez-like statements.

Music, and particularly jazz, knows no borders, and this documentary follows the eminent trumpet great Dizzy Gillespie during a musical tour of Cuba, during which he gets to meet with Fidel Castro and has fun with local dancers and musicians. In concert footage, the balloon-cheeked musician plays A Night in Tunisia and Cubana Bop, among other favorites. In interviews, the musician speaks about his past and the musical compositions which have inspired him.

     Label: Efor Films
     Year: 1966 / 1967
     Release: 2004

     Time: 55 min.
     Size: 213 & 187 MB

     In this indispensable DVD, two of the most interesting films ever made modern experimental jazz are included. The first one, " Ornette Coleman Trio", presents Ornette Coleman's famous trio during their visit to Paris in 1966 in order to record the soundtrack of a very nutty-looking Belgium film called "Who's Crazy?".
     The film was made in three days and offers a portrait of the trio that becomes an "ironic essay in dignity in the face of insanity". Ornette, who in this era was one of the leaders of the Jazz Avant-garde movement, faced the challenge with his two fellow musicians by responding with passionate improvisations to the stimuli that reached him from the screen where the images are projected. A priceless testimony to the innovations which revolutionized the world of jazz in the sixties.
     The second film, also directed by Fontaine, is a curious and original musical and cinematographic experiment. Its strange title, "Sound??", clearly indicates the objective of the work, which is merely to take advantage of the ideas of an innovative jazzman (Roland Kirk) in order to permit an Avant-garde contemporary (John Cage) to speculate with silence and with sound as two facets of the same reality.
     Kirk appears in the film demonstrating his ability to play three saxophones simultaneously, incorporating at the same time recordings of birdsongs or his giving out whistles to the audience in order that they accompany him "in the key of w, if you please". Parallel to this, Cage talks about his concepts and prepares a piece "musical bicycle" with two of his collaborators at the Seville Theatre of London, introducing Kirk's music in an echo chamber in its search for the sound of silence. Two extraordinary examples of immortal Avant-gardism.

     This is a particularly interesting film, for trumpeter Cootie Williams and clarinetist Russell Procope are seen in the mid-'70s watching and commenting on lengthy clips from Duke Ellington's 1968 tour of Mexico. There is quite a bit of strong music on this video, with highlights including the medley of "Creole Love Call," "Black and Tan Fantasy," and "The Mooch," the obscure "Mexican Suite," "It Don't Mean a Thing," and "Mood Indigo." This is one of the best Duke Ellington videos currently available.

     AMG rating: 2006: Eric Dolphy - In Europe 1961-1964 (DVD)

     This DVD features Eric Dolphy in two settings, leading a group during a 1961 Berlin concert and as an important sideman in Charles Mingus' greatest small group, his 1964 sextet that toured Europe until shortly before Dolphy's death. Accompanied by pianist Pepsi Auer and trumpeter Benny Bailey, Dolphy is afire on alto sax in his "G.W." (named for bandleader Gerald Wilson), while his loping "245" (incorrectly labeled "Blues Improvisation," this piece was recorded on Dolphy's debut LP, Outward Bound, a year earlier) features some unusual leaps. But the prime track is Dolphy's virtuoso unaccompanied bass clarinet solo of "God Bless the Child." Additional material from this concert appeared in audio form only on the Enja album The Berlin Concerts. There's also a bass/drum feature for George Joyner and Buster Smith of "Blues in the Closet" that omits everyone else. Although the camera work is awkward in spots, the rarity of these performances make up for it. The Charles Mingus Sextet concert from Stockholm in 1964 has appeared on other videotapes and DVDs, but whichever version is acquired, it is an essential purchase for Dolphy fans. The group, which also included trumpeter Johnny Coles (a week prior to a perforated ulcer that sidelined him for the remainder of the tour), tenorist Clifford Jordan, pianist Jaki Byard, and drummer Dannie Richmond, dug into Mingus' challenging originals and arrangements with gusto every night, making multiple versions of songs from the tour worth seeking. There are two highlights in this 50-minute performance, the hard-driving "So Long, Eric" and a wild finale of "Take the 'A' Train" with Byard and Dolphy (on bass clarinet) sparking one another with adventurous solos. Beautifully photographed in black-and-white with an attentive audience, this performance has since been reissued in the Charles Mingus DVD Live in '64.
