St''phane tells his own incredible story. A Paris orphan busking on the streets goes on to sell out Carnegie Hall enjoying an unprecedented 77-year career. Further he does it on the violin - an instrument with no apparent place in Jazz. Richly illustrated with contemporary archive film of 'The Jazz Century'. The story contains archive musical performance and contributions from: Django Reinhardt Martin Taylor Diz Disley Art Tatum Duke Ellington Coleridge Goode from the Hot Club Quintet - still performing at 87 George Shearing John Etheridge Michael Parkinson Yehudi... Menuhin Kennedy Lew Grade Teddy Wilson Joe Venuti Eddie Lang and the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. Disc One Features: 3 separate soundtracks. 1. the main writer's commentary 2. an alternative director's commentary 3. free of any interference - sit back enjoy the many complete musical performances and form your own perspective. Additionally an exclusive 'skip to next narrative' * feature means you can continue enjoying the 'story' perhaps savoring the complete musical illustrations at a different viewing ? The idea is to make the disc 're-visitable' there being several different ways of approaching the content. Is there anything worse than a DVD you watch once then file and forget ? Disc 2 is all bonus features ! (only available on the DVD version). 11 bonus chapters 7 music archive clips A storytellers chronicle Promotional film Multiphone Selection Music On Earth Timeline Rare photograph montage Bibliography Discography Websites and Map Music on Earth DVD's are different - made by music enthusiasts for music enthusiasts.
