  This DVD features rare film of the famous piano-less quartet filmed in Rome in 1959 showing Gerry Mulligan and Art Farmer at their best. Mulligan and Farmer had first played together in Manny Albam's band in 1957 before recording their first piano-less quartet tracks in 1958 with the same rhythm section as here - Bill Crow on bass and Dave Bailey drums. The same year they had a track featured on the famous Jazz On a Summer's Day film. Farmer plays trumpet (rather than flugelhorn) throughout and Mulligan does in fact contrary to their reputation play piano on two tracks. Tracklist: 1. Announcement by Gerry Mulling/Tuning up 2.

• 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.
