New Morning: The Paris Concert

A performance by the Yellowjackets purveyors of progressive jazz for nearly three decades is an experience that has as much to do with sight as it does with sound. Any given performance on any given night by this seasoned quartet brings with it a degree of spontaneity and expression on an individualas well as collective level that can be best appreciated by seeing these four highly skilled musicians in front of a live audience. New Morning: The Paris Concert takes you up close and personal with the Yellowjackets on stage at the New Morning, one of the most celebrated clubs in Paris, recorded in March 2008. The DVD captures 90 minutes of live music at the New Morning and also features Soundcheck Sketches, a brief but insightful segment narrated by Jimmy Haslip, who introduces each band member and provides an overview of the Yellowjackets philosophy as a whole.
