I'm the same way (don't watch too many DVDs), except that Christmas is really the only time I get DVDs for myself. It usually takes me a full year to watch them all! Quote

Johnny E Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 It should of! The thing is a joke. It's this group of whites and blacks sitting in somebody’s living room discussing race & and how it relates to jazz. It felt like a bad episode of the Jefferson’s with Stanley Crouch as George. The black brother schools the chronically un-hip and irritatingly defensive white guy. The sexy white girl is of course diggin' the heavy brother and he goes off into this pseudo-intellectual rant about how jazz is dead. In between you get tantalizing glimpses of the Chicago Sun Ra band circa 1959. Every time John Gilmore starts to take off, this guy chimes in with some more outdated rationalizations about aspects of jazz symbolizing some self-righteous idiocy. If this "intellectual" would have simply filmed the Ra band or simply did a documentary about them, the film would be a triumph. But instead he decided to lecture the audience about how "the changes" in jazz represent the never-ending cycle of pain that the "Negro" cannot escape without killing jazz…or some shit. What a bummer. Quote

John Tapscott Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 My sister gave me Branford Marsalis' "A Love Supreme Live." I know there'a a thread about this which I haven't read, so I'm not sure what the rest of you are saying about it. I think the performance is very good and very intense. The camera work and picture quality could have been better, though. And the added features seem kind of amateurish. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I'm considering going to see Branford here in town next month. . . I have a feeling he'll play this (?) Quote
bertrand Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 My wife and son got me the Straight No Chaser DVD. I just love the sequences in the recording studio when they're filming Underground. Monk performs several takes of 'Ugly Beauty', but that bozo Teo Macero doesn't tape them, much to Monk's exasperation. Bertrand. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I certainly don't think Macero is a "bozo!" Quote
