Sound Of Jazz Movie Review

Average Rating: (2 out of 5 stars) 2 stars

1 star transfer enigma!
Nothing to say about the content of this DVD: one of the best moments in Jazz Hystory. And the TV program is complete, the sound quite good. But what happened to the video transfer? It is unwatchable... I wonder why: I saw many excerpts of this program, years ago, and they were of very good video quality. What a pity.

3 stars Monk Missing from DVD
The Sound of Jazz is still the best jazz program ever broadcast on tv. Unfortuantely this DVD is of so-so visual quality. It's no better than a VHS released by some of the same people a few years ago and is missing Thelonious Monk's performance that was included on the VHS. Nothing on the box says that the Monk segment has been deleted and his trio is still credited in the end roll..

Sound Of Jazz movie DVD

$18.95

Live Recording Personnel: John Coltrane (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Alan Grant (spoken vocals); McCoy Tyner (piano); Jimmy Garrison (double bass); Elvin Jones (drums).
ONE DOWN, ONE UP: LIVE AT THE HALF NOTE, recorded in the last year of the classic quartet's existence, captures John Coltrane, drummer Elvin Jones, pianist McCoy Tyner, and bassist Jimmy Garrison going full blast. Recorded a year after A LOVE SUPREME, Coltrane was already moving on to extended improvisation, stretching out a single composition for 15 or 20 minutes while deconstructing it from every conceivable angle, turning his saxophone into an instrument of relentless exploration.
The dramatic, spiraling inventions of Tyner lend a frenetic element to Coltrane's already intense lines, while Jones and Garrison find and rearrange nearly ...
