  This outstanding DVD presents a complete and previously unissued live 1974 performance by two jazz giants: Oscar Peterson and Count Basie. Oscar Peterson plays a couple of pieces alone and then presents some amazing duets with Danish bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. Basie plays a wonderful set with his big band which at that time included such celebrated soloists as Jimmy Forrest Al Grey and Curtis Fuller plus singer Big Joe Turner who makes a special guest appearance. But the true climax of this concert recorded at the Prague Jazz Festival on November 8 1974 comes when Peterson calls Basie to the stand and both enjoy themselves having a friendly conversation with two pianos.

• Benny Golson - The Whisper Not Tour | DVD | (05/12/2012) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-1.99 (-8.00%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Legend in every sense of the word Benny Golson is one of a few jazzmen whose achievements as a composer equal his accomplishments as a saxophonist. 'As a player Golson remains an awesome modern mainstream improviser able to craft captivating and emotion-laden melodic lines while sailing through the chord changes with the ease afforded by his ultra sharp composer's ear.' - David Franklin JazzTimes This DVD features far more than just the genius of Golson. Performing alongside Benny in this timeless uncut concert is a plethora of talent; Art Farmer in his last live recorded video performance with Golson & Curtis Fuller (original members of the historic Jazztet) and the man Time Magazine called 'the James Joyce of Jazz ' vocalist extraordinaire Jon Hendricks. After writing the classic 'Whisper Not ' for Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band Benny's reputation flourished. Working with talent such as Quincy Jones Lou Rawls Connie Francis Ella Fitzgerald Nancy Wilson Sammy Davis Jr. and Diana Ross Golson also penned numerous standards such as 'Killer Joe' and 'I Remember Clifford.' Whether leading Philadelphia's Columbus Avenue jam sessions playing with fellow stars such as John Coltrane or in a Hollywood recording studio writing the scores for classic American television shows such as M*A*S*H The Cosby Show and Mission Impossible Jazz's elder statesman Benny Golson is simply remarkable.
