Jazz Icons - Louis Armstrong: Live In '59 DVD A major event is taking place in the world of Jazz-the release of the Jazz Icons DVD Series featuring filmed concerts by the most pivotal and influential jazz artists of the 20th century.
To begin the series is one of the only known complete Louis Armstrong concerts from the 1950s to be captured on film. This 1959 concert, filmed in Belgium and backed by his stellar band, the All-Stars, captures the great man in all his glory as both a jazz pioneer and an entertainer without peer.
Each of the nine Jazz Icons™ DVDs features one or more concerts filmed live in television studios and concert halls throughout Europe during one of the most creative periods in jazz history. None of these performances has ever been officially released, and in many cases, the material was never originally broadcast. In addition, every performance in the Jazz Icons DVD series has been re-transferred and re-mastered from the best-quality, original masters yielding excellent sound and video.
Each DVD also includes a 16-page booklet with an extensive essay written by an established jazz writer and historian (Ira Gitler, Michael Cuscuna, Will Friedwald, Rob Bowman and others) In addition, each booklet includes previously unseen photos and memorabilia.

Jazz Icons - Louis Armstrong: Live In '59 review
$21.55
The Salzburg Festival played host to an awesome reworking of Verdi's UN BALLO IN MASCHERA ("The Masked Ball") during 1989 and 1990. Herbert Von Karajan had meticulously prepared the opera for public consumption, but after he sadly passed away in '89, Sir George Solti took over the conductor's mantle, and with the aid of performers such as Placido Domingo, Josephine Barstow, and Florence Quivar, managed to produce an incredible piece of work. Captured for posterity by Austrian television, the full performance is presented here.
Placido Domingo, Josephine Barstow, Florence Quivar, Sumi Jo, and Leo Nucci star in this 1989/1990 Salzburg Festival production of the Verdi opera, with Sir Georg Solti conducting the Vienna State Philharmonic and Opera Chorus.
