Norman Granz Jazz In Montreux Presents Roy Eldridge '77

Norman Granz is one of the most important non-musicians in the history of jazz and no one has made a greater contribution to the staging, recording and filming of jazz concerts. This series of performances from the prestigious Montreux Jazz FestivalTM now makes a part of this legacy available on dvd for the first time. The much missed Roy Eldridge was one of the most exciting trumpeters to emerge during the swing era. This outstanding concert from 1977 sees him teamed with an all star group featuring the great Oscar Peterson on piano, Niels Pedersen on bass and Bobby Durham on drums.Between the devil and the deep blue sea Blues I surrender dear Dale?s wail Perdido Bye bye blackbird
