Two great nights, so far

So I bought the new DVD treatment of "A Great Day in Harlem," my favorite jazz documentary, over the weekend and I have worked my way through the first disk and am savoring the second, which includes nearly three hours of mini bios of all the musicians in the famous Art Kane Esquire photo employing reminiscences filmed for, but not included in, the movie (tons of delightful stories here), vintage photos and some performance clips. Rent it if you don't want to lay out the coin to buy it, but be sure to see it. It's a treasure.
