This reunion concert captures all the energy and enthusiasm of the band, as well as delivering an awesome selection of their best material.

This collection of ten short films from the years 1929-1941 contains some extraordinary and bizarre performances from a number of jazz and blues legends. Perhaps most startling is "A Rhapsody in Black & Blue" in which Louis Armstrong performs wearing a leopard skin outfit while knee deep in soap bubbles. Other highlights include Bessie Smith's only film appearance in the controversial "St. Louis Blues," and a teenage Billie Holiday performing with Duke Ellington in "Symphony in Black." An invaluable...

This dvd presents the unalloyed power of these Delta legends as they performed in the 1960s and 1970s. Son House is both philosopher and a man possessed; Johnny Shines, by turns subtle and intense, brings as much to Robert Johnson's example as he takes from it; Bukka White extols women and rambling freights in his stream-of-consciousness growl; a meditative John Lee Hooker reflects, I'll Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive. This is music which...

The crowd got a double-dose of soul as the performers sang such tunes as "Respect," "Joy and Pain," "Lady in the Streets," and "Give Me Yo' Most Strongest Whiskey." Brown delivered a solo rendition of her much-loved hit "Woman to Woman," while LaSalle's finale delivery of "My Tu Tu" set the crowd on fire.

One of rock's longest-running acts, the Moody Blues began as a mid-1960s British Invasion band before turning to psychedelic pop later in the decade. In the 1970s, the Blues evolved into purveyors of melodic, classically influenced songs that split the distance between progressive rock and pop, a sound they carried through several decades. This program finds the Moody Blues performing at the 1991 Montreux Jazz Festival--their only appearance at the prestigious event--in support of that year's KEYS...
