hello StonesTod-
have you seen or gotten any of the Jazz Icons dvds on amazon? I saw the Cannonball Adderly one from '63..a concert in Sweden..w Nat Adderly, Yusef Lateef, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes..and Joe Zawinul..

really well-recorded and filmed. I will be getting others in this series, there's a Bill Evans one, and a Dave Brubeck one..

thanks for the tip - but in all honesty - i really don't watch dvd's of any kind. i got music playing in the house all day - mostly classical and jazz - but my eyes are doing other things. my nose and mouth, too....

the cannonball band of that era is one of the all-time greats - the live records from new york and san francisco have been in my regular rotation for decades.

...i really don't watch dvd's of any kind...

ok. you'd love it, but ok.

You could put a dvd on and just listen to it...

...or just watch it, and turn down the volume.

There are seemingly endless possibilities, or at least 2 anyway.

what if i don't have any dvd's? what are the possibilities in that case?

that would be a terrible waste!

infinite, as you could walk down to Best Buy. Or drive.

i'm not overly adventurous...vivaldi, bach, beethoven and mozart (prolly in that order) are my faves....have pretty much everything they wrote. and there's not much classical i won't give a try. there's a great local classical station here that occasionally turns me onto something i hadn't heard....

back brandenburg concertos,mozert symphany's and don giovani opera along with the marriage of figaro.haydn symphony's beethoven pretty much everything.verdi operas (allof them)i like bizet,ravel,debussey(spelled that wrong)i love mahler symphony 1-5.one of the summer treats for me is going to tanglewood for the boston symphony orchestra.there is so much to like i know i am leaving off so much more , good taste by the by !!!

actually been listening to quite a bit of early renaissance choral stuff - 16th century stuff. very fascinating. i read alot of history from that period, and it's kinda fun to listen to music written in the era whilst i read about the times.
