Another upload. Another cracking video!
From the description:
"For the first time, this mythic concert is shown in its entirety. The footage was broadcast by parts in weekly french programs. They are of different qualities. The soundtrack has been replaced by a cd (1994) synchronized, except for few missing parts. The cd also completed few parts missing in the video. So you have here the most complete version of this concert."

Charles Mingus (bass, piano) Eric Dolphy (alto sax, bass clarinet) Bud Powell (piano) Ted Curson (trumpet) Booker Ervin (tenor sax) Danny Richmond (drums)

And it's been taken down! That's bad luck indeed.
BTW, I'm afraid/confident this forum is gradually morphing into a site "for the serious playlist collector and online jazz video aficionado."
(Oh for that mellow Spotify sound! ... )

Nah, there's only one Spotify/playlist thread and one YouTube thread. I'll inject jazz into my brain from anywhere: Radio, vinyl, cd, cassette, videotape, dvd, Spotify, Bandcamp and YouTube. My ears don't care! On 17/08/19 JazzFM played Miles Davis' Kind of Blue in full. I even listened to and recorded that! Still on my Sky box. Is there a clinic for jazz addicts? Btw, I'm currently listening to Both Directions at Once while watching Murray v Berrettini.

Another upload. I've never clicked with Stan Getz. Anyone recommend an album by him?

I've never clicked with Getz either. Not enough air through the horn.

When you said it's "Hard to believe it was recorded in the sixties" did you mean it sounds more like it was recorded before or after the sixties??? I think FOCUS sounds like it was recorded to appeal to people that didn't especially like jazz, i.e., to make money. It does have some pretty sections. Getz made his mark on "Early Autumn" which I love. He's a good player but someone I rarely listen to.

Down Beat (March 29, 1962): *****
When I said it was "something else", this is exactly what I meant, literally. Eddie Sauter is not for the typical jazz fan (and the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra did sound rather grotesque at times). Nevertheless, Cook and Morton gave the "Focus" album four stars plus a "core collection" bonus. Here is what they say: "Nobody ever arranged for Getz as well as this, and Sauter's luminous and shimmering scores continue to bewitch. This isn't art-jazz scoring: Sauter had little of Gil Evans's misterioso power, and he was shameless about tugging at heartstrings. But within those parameters - and Getz, the most pragmatic of soloists, was only too happy to work within them - he made up the most emotive of frameworks. It doesn't make much sense as a suite, or a concerto; just as a series of episodes with the tenor gliding over and across them. [ ... ] This was surely Getz's finest hour. [ ... ]"
