Two New Jazz DVDs Heat up the Summer! Joe Williams and George Shearing Concert DVDs Coming Soon!

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2004

VIEW Video, a producer and publisher of Music, Performing Arts, and other docu­mentary programs, announced the July 20th release of two new Jazz DVDs, expanding their ever-growing and award-winning Jazz DVD Collection:

GEORGE SHEARING: LULLABY OF BIRDLAND & JOE WILLIAMS: A SONG IS BORN

GEORGE SHEARING: LULLABY OF BIRDLAND    

George Shearing is among the most popular and respected musi­cians of all time. His splendid “locked hands” tech­nique, coupled with a tender touch have made him one of the few pianists with a recog­nizable sound. An impro­viser with a flair for style and melodic elegance, many musi­cians have credited him with “opening up their ears to the beauties of tone.”

Finally, see the legendary jazz pianist in his only full-length concert perfor­mance, magnif­i­cently filmed in 1991 at the beau­tiful Paul Masson Winery. ShearingÂ’s artistry is now captured forever, as he and bass sensation Neil Swainson caress the ballads of Rodgers & Hart and Hoagy Carmichael, and swing to the bebop of Charlie Parker.

DVD Bonus Features include Trivia Subtitles, Shearing Biog­raphy, Bonus Historic Video Perfor­mance, and Instant Access to Songs and Instru­mental Solos.

JOE WILLIAMS WITH GEORGE SHEARING: A SONG IS BORN

Since his first hit Every Day I Have The Blues, as the singer of the Count Basie Band, WilliamsÂ’ vocal excel­lence and impec­cable taste have resulted in the universal appeal that has won him a Grammy, numerous other awards and polls including the Downbeat Crit­icsÂ’ and Read­ersÂ’ Polls.

Whether itÂ’s the blues, romantic ballads or contem­porary music, Joe Williams has attained fame as a singerÂ’s singer. Performing with legendary jazz pianist George Shearing, this is a rare dream collab­o­ration of two musical giants. At the peak of their musical powers in 1991, this is JoeÂ’s first concert DVD. Other musi­cians include Neil Swainson on bass and Paul Humphry on drums. DVD Bonus Features include Trivia Subtitles, Joe Williams Biog­raphy, Instant Access to Songs and Solos, and more.
