A Fine Documentary
|
| I've watched many documentaries on musicians over the years. I've also seen some wonderful concert videos. This DVD definitely falls in the former catagory, and those looking simply for complete concert performances should search elsewhere. That said, I was impressed with how much in the way of complete performances this particular documentary showed (more than most). Oscar Peterson says more than once-and with great enthusiasm-that this classic group of his has reached a real pinnacle in terms of chemistry and challenging interaction, and it shows in the wonderful live clips of classics like "Caravan" and "Bag's Groove", that you see throughout the video. As well, the biographical material is excellent, and though not completely comprehensive, at least presents an overview of the great pianist's life and career that makes me appreciate what he's accomplished so far (even with the stroke he suffered a few years ago, I know he's still out there doing even more). Finally, the "extras" section of the DVD has some terrific stuff, including discography and quotes about the nature of Jazz improvisation and history that make me appreciate the man's intellect and passion as much as his talent. |
