Filmed in Europe between 1958 and 1966, this set of Jazz Icons™ DVDs features concerts by seven of the most influential jazz artists of the twentieth century captured in their prime and accompanied by some of the most legendary sidemen of the day.

Previously forgotten or lost in the vaults of TV studios throughout Europe (in some cases for nearly fifty years!), they are now being made available for the first time.

All seven Jazz Icons titles will be sold separately and as a deluxe boxed set with a bonus eighth disc featuring additional rare, never-before seen performances.

“These nine historic DVDs are among the most important visual/aural documents to be mined from the ever-yielding, seemingly hidden jazz treasury. Now, most importantly, they are available to the entire world” Ira Gitler, co-author The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz on series 1
