Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers are captured at a joyful outdoor gig at the Umbria Jazz Festival on July 20 during the scorching summer of 1976. Here, in his third decade of leading the band, Blakey's enthusiasm runs high throughout a set lasting almost exactly an hour across six compelling numbers. The opening "Backgammon" is a 13-minute showcase for Blakey's masterful drumming and virtuoso improvisation from trumpeter Bill Hardman, with especially fine contributions from pianist Mickey Tucker. There are strong exchanges between Cameron Brown's bass and Tucker's keys on "Along Came Betty" and, while the ten-minute workout that is "Uranus" may be the most exploratory cut, the almost equally lengthy "Blues March" keeps up the tempo. Tucker is again the star of the classic "All the Things You Are", before the set reaches an uplifting conclusion with the breathtakingly interlocking dynamics of "Gipsy Folk Tales". This may not be one of the classic Messengers line-ups, but there's no doubting the commitment and dazzling precision of the musicianship. Likewise the rapt audience and romantic courtyard setting lend a magic which only happens when all the right elements come together, as they undoubtedly do in this highly enjoyable set. On the DVD: Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers on disc has trailers for other TDK jazz releases and a text biography of Art Blakey. The 4:3 picture is sometimes slightly soft and displays the usual faults of live concert footage shot on video, but is generally much better than expected for its age. The sound defaults to good stereo but the Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 remixes add considerably to the sense of a occasion. The DTS track is particularly weighty and almost tangible in its presence.--Gary S. Dalkin

The birth of rock & roll was no accident - but a vital moment in the music's history occurred by chance. This DVD brings to life that remarkable moment and many others told in vivid detail by people who were there when Bill Haley and His Comets' ""Rock Around The Clock"" helped to ignite a cultural revolution. The storytellers include two of the original Comets who played on the record: Marshall Lytle and in the last interview before his death Johnny Grande. Their history is illuminated by rare archive footage including 8mm film shot by Ralph Jones the Comets' drummer from 1955-1960. There are also performances of ""Crazy Man Crazy"" and ""Shake Rattle and Roll"" by the original Comets taken from the little-seen 1954 rock 'n' roll featurette 'Round-Up of Rhythm' plus ""(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"" from The Ed Sullivan Show. Recollections by Pat Boone second only to Elvis Presley as the biggest-selling artist of the 1950s and Cleve Duncan lead vocalist of the Penguins place rock & roll in context. Alongside these and many other contributions is the first-hand recall of Peter Ford son of Hollywood legend Glenn Ford. A chance hearing of Peter's copy of ""Rock Around The Clock"" inspired movie director Richard Brooks to use the song in ""Blackboard Jungle "" which he was making with Glenn Ford at the time. The film's subsequent success brought rock & roll to the eyes and ears of the world and placed Bill Haley and the Comets at the heart of the most exciting influential music of the 20th century. The 1 hour 20 minute documentary features all of all the classic Bill Haley and His Comets original recordings re-mastered in 5.1 surround sound including ""(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock"" ""See You Later Alligator"" ""Rock The Joint"" ""Razzle Dazzle"" and ""Hook Line and Sinker"".
