NEW ON DVD: COUNT BASIE AND JO STAFFORD

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

Check out our DVD section for two new “discoveries”: A Count Basie concert from 1965 with Rufus Jones on drums; and a compilation DVD featuring a vocalist that many maintain was the finest in history, Jo Stafford. These were television shots from around 1961 and feature Stafford with guests Rosemary Clooney, Mel Torme’ and Ella Fitzgerald. These were issued on VHS at the dawn of the video age and have never been released–until now–on DVD. More good stuff to come!

MY APOLOGY FOR COMMUNITY PAGE JUNK

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

Evidently, the JazzLegends.com audience is valuable enough for a number of spammers to post their junk on the Community Pages. Rest assured that we’re doing everything possible to get rid of these rude clowns and to ensure that our pages will never be graced by them again. And believe me, my friends, if it takes MAKING THEM AN OFFER THEY CAN’T REFUSE, I’ll do it. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

By the way, look for some fabulous new material coming soon, including a rare Basie concert, Jo Stafford with Torme’ and Ella, and some neat MP2 stuff.
