Jazz Icons Series 3 Update
Posted by: David Brent Johnson on July 1st, 2008
The Jazz Icons website has posted discographical information about the previously-announced third set in their ongoing series of jazz-performance DVD releases. Due out in September: titles featuring Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Nina Simone, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, and Lionel Hampton. Those willing to spring for the box-set that includes all of the above will get a bonus disc that features extra performances from Kirk (1963), Rollins (1959), and Simone (1965) as well as interviews with the latter two. More info at All About Jazz as well.
