Studio: IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT Certificate: MPAA Not Rated Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Charlie Byrd Trio: Live in New Orleans finds guitar great Charlie Byrd, his brother Joe Byrd on bass, and Chuck Redd on drums together for a romp through a comfortable program of chestnuts as well as some beautiful Antonio Carlos Jobim sambas, recalling that Charlie was one of the early American jazz players to explore Brazilian music. With this DVD, Charlie Byrd visits your living room, bringing his music along. Lucky you. It's like a visit from an old friend. Tracks: Shiny Stockings, Jive at Five, Jitterbug Waltz, Wave, Orpheus Samba, Satin Doll, One Morning in May, Corcovado, Someone to Watch Over Me, How Long Has This Been Going On, Blue Monk. AMAZON The fact that the late Charlie Byrd was a jazzman who plied his trade on a nylon-stringed Spanish guitar, making him the biggest fish in a pretty small pond, takes nothing away from this masterful performance by the guitarist and his trio. Recorded in 1990 at Duke's Place in New Orleans, the 55-minute, 11-song gig finds Byrd, bassist (and brother) Joe Byrd, and drummer Chuck Redd covering familiar material by the likes of Fats Waller ("Jitterbug Waltz"), Antonio Carlos Jobim ("Corcovado" and a brilliant "Wave"), Duke Ellington ("Satin Doll"), Thelonious Monk ("Blue Monk"), and others. Excellent sound (Dolby Digital 5.1 or 2.0) and superb camera work (the close-ups along the guitar neck showing Byrd's finger-picking technique are especially good) enhance a performance that may not be especially exciting (don't expect any burning, fret-grinding solos here) but is nonetheless a clinic in masterful jazz musicianship. Byrd lives! --Sam Graham DVDs ARE REGION 1 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED Missing Information? Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
