Next Stop is Vietnam: the War on Record 1961-2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CD<\/a>We just received this beautifully produced box set from Bear Family Records documenting the recorded legacy of the Vietnam War. The collection contains 13 CDs and a 300 page book that features the label\u2019s typically rich detail about the music, an essay about soldiers\u2019 preferred songs, and a foreword by Country Joe McDonald. Besides well-known songs by Phil Ochs, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Edwin Starr, John Lennon and others, one finds here many lesser-known tracks and songs written by soldiers themselves. Archival recordings range from Anita Bryant\u2019s PSA for Patriotism<\/em> to an excerpt from Jane Fonda\u2019s Hanoi press conference on August 14, 1972.<\/p>\n

Bill Evans on DVD<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"DVD<\/a>Just in are two DVDs featuring Bill Evans in trio recordings taken from several different points in his career. The first DVD, Waltz for Debby<\/em>, includes television broadcasts from London in 1965 and New Jersey in 1971. The other, But Beautiful<\/em>, comes from 1979 and highlights Evan\u2019s final regular trio with Marc Johnson on bass and Joe La Barbera on drums. That trio is the same group he played with at the Harvard Jazz Band concert in 1980, a performance which Tom Everett recently recounted during the 40 years of Jazz at Harvard<\/a> celebrations.<\/p>\n

(Selections from the Tom Everett Collection of Jazz Manuscripts, including John Lewis’ The Gates of Harvard<\/em>, composed for that 1980 visit, are on display in the Music Library through September 30<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Music for Merce 1952-2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CD<\/a>Another box set, this time 10 CDs on New World Records of music written for dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham. Besides his work with John Cage, Cunningham collaborated with many other experimental composers and this set includes music by David Tudor, Takehisa Kosugi, Earl Brown, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, Gordon Mumma, Pauline Oliveros and others. The collection also includes a lengthy essay by music historian Amy Beal entitled \u201cA Short Stop Along the Way: Each-Thingness and Music for Merce.\u201d<\/p>\n

People Time\u2026 Stan Getz and Kenny Barron<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CD<\/a>And finally, we recently acquired the complete set of recordings made by Stan Getz and pianist Kenny Barron at the Caf\u00e9 Montmartre in Copenhagen on March 3-6, 1991. Made just months before Getz\u2019s death in June of that year, some of these performances were originally issued on two Verve CDs in 1992. Now Sunnyside Records via Universal Music France has put out the entire four nights (7 CDs of music), and the set includes both the original 1991 notes by Kenny Barron and new notes written by Gary Giddins.<\/p>\n
