Jazz Icons DVDs are produced with the full support and cooperation of the artists or their estates, who, in most cases, are contributing rare personal photographs, memorabilia, and forewords.
Reelin' In The Years Productions, producers of the GRAMMY® nominated American Folk Blues Festival Series series, bring the same care and dedication to the Jazz Icons series as they have shown in their other critically acclaimed releases, including Dreams To Remember: The Legacy of Otis Redding, The Temptations: Get Ready- Definitive Performances 1965-1972 , Muddy Waters-Classic Concerts and Marvin Gaye- The Real Thing In Performance 1964-1981.

"This is like the discovery of a
bonanza of previously unknown
manuscripts of plays by
William Shakespeare."
—Nat Hentoff
Wall Street Journal
"Louis Armstrong's sound transcends time and style. This DVD captures that intangible power and allows us to gaze upon it in wonder."
—Wynton Marsalis
"Amazing! To see the Art Blakey band playing "Moanin'" a month after I recorded them—it's like watching my own birth."
—Rudy Van Gelder
(engineer of the original Moanin' LP)
“These nine historic DVDs are among the most important visual/aural documents to be mined from the ever-yielding, seemingly hidden jazz treasury. Now, most importantly, they are available to the entire world.”
—Ira Gitler, co-author,
The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz (Oxford)
“Considering the almost
alarming proliferation of jazz DVDs on the market today, and their extremely variable quality, it is good to know that Reelin’ In The Years can be trusted to bring viewers nothing but the best—in content and presentation.”
—Dan Morgenstern, Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University; author, Living With Jazz (Pantheon Books) |
