Texas Tenor - The Illinois Jacquet Story - DVD

s/w
This phenomenal DVD - filmed fifty years after the release of "Flying Home" - provides more than ample proof that at almost 70 years old, Illinois Jacquet was still the greatest living saxophonist on the planet. Lacking the obtrusive and impersonal narration so common to most music documentaries, Jacquet is filmed in a variety of settings ranging from live performances at the Blue Note club to big band rehearsals to entertaining jaunts through the streets of Paris.
