This is a must see. Watch on Netflix;

 

[Old Onkyo]

I watched it a few months ago. Great

 

[Paudio]

It's not a docu but very informative.

I've got the Ken Burns Jazz series on DVD

I've got the Ken Burns Jazz series on DVD

(Obviously) That is the de-facto Jazz Docu!

I have the CD Box Set for it! I picked it up at Half Price Books years ago. I don't recall exactly what I paid, but it is rare for me to pay over ~$20-25 for a CD Box set, so I would assume it was around that price.

Didn't even know there was one until I tried to find a link for the dvd box set....but would be nice to actually have a playable soundtrack....

Earlier this year I picked up the Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool disc set. Both documentary bluray and concert footage from Montreux Jazz Festival appearances on dvd. Good stuff.

 

[Paudio]

Yes and good to see Miles revisiting his old stuff.

Miles has been revisiting his old stuff since he died, no?

John Coltrane/Sam Cooke(Amazon too) docs on Netflix. Elvis Presley: The Searcher. Two part Doc on HBO. Focus on his music only.

 

[Paudio]

Maybe the most moving jazz docu ever made. Highly recommended.
