More details

This anthology gathers different "soundies" (short features produced for movie theatres) and telescriptions (the first music videos) dating back from the Forties and early Fifties and featuring material by the Duke Ellington orchestra and the Lionel Hampton -the first vibraphonist in jazz- Big Band. To be able to watch the Duke and his men performing "Caravan", "Flamingo" or "C Jam Blues" or the Hampton organisation attacking "Midnight Sun" or "Air Mail Special" is truly a gift for the eyes... An essential document of two of the greatest bandleaders in jazz history. Time: 77.19 PAL/NTSC
