One of the most notable jazz trios of the ‘60s was the Oscar Peterson Trio. Elegance and professionalism accompany a friendship felt on stage. Peterson is one of jazz’s beloved artists and this DVD, Live in ’63, ’64, & ‘65, gives some insight as to why. Jazz Icons does it once again with a remarkable DVD that highlights three shows in the countries of Sweden, Denmark, and Finland where the weather might be cold, but the reception for the Peterson Trio was more than warm.

A DVD of the original shows, featuring a total of 20 songs, was released on November 28, 2006. It was directed by Danny Clinch, who appears briefly on-stage to play harmonica on the song Another Round, reprising the contribution he made to the original album recording of the song for In Your Honor. The UK version of the release is a two-disc set including the band's 2006 performance at Hyde Park.

One of the most successful bands in the world, AC/DC have sold over 150 million albums. The road to rock superstardom has not been an easy one; yet the band has gone from strength to strength, overcoming the loss of one of the greatest frontmen of all time, line-up changes and of course, the traditional demons of rock 'n' roll, drugs and alcohol.

Set against the raw majesty of Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this post Fleetwood Mac concert by Nicks captures this sensual, poetic artist in breathtaking surroundings. Backed by her sizable band, Nick's dusky vocals showcase beautifully on all these selections. Special guests include Mick Fleetwood and Peter Frampton.

Sonny Rollins live at Laren featuring Walter Davis Jr and Bob Cranshaw. Plus Ben Webster featuring Don Byas.
The preeminent tenor saxophonist of all contemporary jazz performs in concert before live audiences songs include: 'There Is No Greater Love,' 'Don't Stop the Carnival,' 'Alfie,' and 'St. Thomas.'

A major event is taking place in the world of Jazz-the release of the Jazz Icons DVD Series featuring filmed concerts by the most pivotal and influential jazz artists of the 20th century.
Amongst the first clutch of releases from the Jazz Icons DVD series is this recently discovered riveting hour-long Count Basie show from Sweden taped in 1962 featuring the phenomenal drumming of Sonny Payne.

The original traditional Irish folk band, as far as anyone who came of age in the 1970s or 1980s is concerned, is the Chieftains. Their sound, built largely on Paddy Moloney's pipes, is otherworldly, almost entirely instrumental, and seems as though it comes out of another age of man's history. That they became an international phenomenon in the '70s and '80s is testament to their virtuoso musicianship.
The Chieftains were first formed in Dublin during 1963, as a semi-professional outfit, from the ranks of the top folk musicians in Ireland.

With their ringing, bagpipe-like guitars and the anthemic songs of frontman Stuart Adamson, Scotland's Big Country emerged as one of the most distinctive and promising new rock bands of the early '80s, scoring a major hit with their debut album, The Crossing; though the group's critical and commercial fortunes dimmed in the years to follow, they nevertheless outlasted virtually all of their contemporaries, releasing new material into the next century.

When a band really succeeds live, they have the power to take the audience on a trip. Whether you’re front row or 100 yards away, the sonic flood carries you far from the stank bar or atmospherically challenged hockey arena you’re standing in. And it’s this fundamental capacity to transcend that is too often scorched by treacherous concert DVDs. Instead of luring the home audience into unfettered immersion, the producers of these videos tend to spotlight their own performances.
