allegro welcomes elm records to its roster!

In 1978, Ellis Marsalis made his first recording for his own label, ELM Records. A follow-up album was made in 1983, but it wasn’t until 1998, when his son Jason worked with him, that they were released. A few years later, Ellis started to make new records under the ELM label and has been doing so for the past few years. Look for future new releases and re-issues to come from ELM Records.

Front Cover Sticker Ellis Marsalis plays the music of Thelonious Monk.

Selling Points • Ellis Marsalis’ first recording of Thelonious Monk’s music represents the essence of Monk’s genius and the fun elements of the interaction of a jazz quartet.

• Includes familiar classics “Straight, No Chaser” and “‘Round Midnight.”

Featured Artists Ellis Marsalis: piano Derek Douget: tenor & soprano sax Jason Stewart: bass Jason Marsalis: drums Track Listing Crepescule with Nellie • Jackie-ing • Epistrophy • Monk’s Mood • Straight, No Chaser • Light Blue • Teo • Ruby, My Dear • Rhythma-ning • Round Midnight • Evidence press quotes “When the subject of jazz comes up these days, the name Marsalis is soon sure to follow. Brothers Branford, Wynton, Delfeayo, and Jason have all reached international fame. But before they found success, their father Ellis was shaping his own career as a jazz pianist and composer … Ellis Marsalis has become one of the most renowned music educators in the US, imparting his extensive knowledge of jazz to students like pianist and vocalist Harry Connick, Jr., trumpeter Terence Blanchard, and of course, his four sons.” — NPR “Before his sons came to prominence, Ellis Marsalis was a little known (but admired) New Orleans piano player and teacher … On this record, the unassuming confidence and gift for harmonic variety that have made Marsalis such a fine accompanist are on full display … And what he achieves from beginning to end is a sort of quiet magic.”

“A modern-jazz innovator in New Orleans during the mid-1950s, Marsalis is also a renowned teacher whose former pupils include such modern-day jazz artists as Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, Harry Connick Jr., Nicholas Payton, Kent & Marlon Jordan, and Steve Masakowski, among many others.” — JazzTimes Media & Marketing Service to radio, NPR stations, and jazz press by Two Show Media.

APRIL The traditional culture of Rajasthan is amazingly rich and uncommonly beautiful. Its architecture, music, and dance radiate refinement and excellence. Musical instruments and dance positions clearly inspired artists in the decoration of its temples and palaces. If the performing arts are so rich, it is because opportunities to practice them—including religious ceremonies, cattle fairs, pilgrimages, weddings, festivals, and so on—are so numerous. According to an old Indian saying, a Rajasthani has nine occasions for celebration every week!

This DVD takes us to Rajasthan, where we travel following a charted itinerary. Beautiful pictures— of scenery, architecture, everyday life, crafts, dances, and festivals—present a panorama of the impressive cultural wealth of this region. The pictures are accompanied by wonderful music, some of it played live by traditional musicians.

The 33 sequences—including one about the famous Taj Mahal at Agra, near the Rajasthan border, in Uttar Pradesh—are presented in chapters (by geography and theme) to simplify viewing.

“Bud Shank’s had a major re-awakening. Now, he’s swinging with more exuberance and making daring choices. He’s not getting older, he’s getting more ferocious.” — Down Beat “For more than a decade, Shank has gone full steam ahead as a jazz alto saxophonist. When Shank declared independence from the studios and the flute, his alto tone took on muscle, his improvisation, ferocity. Both have continued to build.” — Jazz Times “His strong tone and improvisational agility could put to shame many a musician half his age.” — Boston Globe This nearly two-hour documentary film showcases jazz alto sax legend Bud Shank, featuring dynamic performance footage from a recent recording session as well as extensive interviews in which Shank discusses his 60-year career as one of the founding members of the West Coast jazz movement. The program includes many historic performances, including the 1962 Frankly Jazz TV show and the 1957 Stars of Jazz TV show. Shank is interviewed extensively about his life and career, and hundreds of rare photographs are featured.

Produced and directed by Grammy-nominated producer and award-winning filmmaker Graham Carter.

Includes a bonus CD of tunes from the documentary film and some rare Bud Shank recordings.

Film premiere at the Los Angeles Jazz Institute festival in May 2008. Down Beat article will appear in May 2008 issue.

Allegro welcomes la huit to its roster!

A film production company with a catalog of +200 program hours, La Huit’s offerings broaden each year.

The label’s 2008 release schedule includes live performance & documentary DVDs on music luminaries as well as Freedom NOW, a unique collection of free-form films on music.

“Few artists are as adventurous, imaginative, and uncompromising, and even fewer could hope to find a home, as Ribot has, in such diverse realms as jazz, pop, rock, blues, and klezmer. And so fans can now satisfy their curiosities with the release of Anaïs Prosaïc’s documentary … The film, much like Ribot’s career, hops from place to place with spirit and ambition, along with a sense of faith and conviction that what feels right artistically is all that really matters … And if, by the end, more music is needed, fret not, for a bonus is included, with four full tracks from a solo performance in Lampli, France.” — All About Jazz A legend of the New York scene and the composer, improviser, and accompanist most sought-after by the biggest international pop stars, Marc Ribot is one of the most inventive guitarists of his generation. Composed of excerpts from concerts in New York’s Lower East Side clubs—as well as from his European tour, archival footage, and conversations—this film explores the variety of musical universes inhabited by this inspired virtuoso artist.

This first-ever DVD about Marc Ribot is directed by reputed French filmmaker Anaïs Prosaïc. It has received amazing media and retail responses in France and Europe, where it was released few months ago.

“A consistently adventurous trumpeter who has stuck to playing avant-garde jazz throughout his career, Wadada Leo Smith’s dry, introverted style (which makes extensive use of space) is a strong contrast to the more jubilant flights of Lester Bowie.” — All Music Guide Eclipse gives an outlook both modern and classic on a music that, from blues to so-called free jazz, simultaneously asserts its creativity and history, its structure and free improvisation. All these are born contradictions that feed the music of Wadada Leo Smith Golden Quartet with energy and rare beauty.

This first-ever DVD on Wadada Leo Smith includes exquisite, close-up live performance footage that makes the viewer feel as though he were sitting right onstage with the all-star quartet. The music and the interviews are seamlessly woven together in a subtle manner, and the black & white filming helps one to concentrate on the musician’s performances.

“The Yohimbe Brothers once again deliver their eclectic blend of rock, DJ mixing, rap lyrics, and other elements … The duo, whose name is based loosely on an African herbal aphrodisiac, consists of guitarist Vernon Reid (Living Colour, Vernon Reid & Masque) and turntablist DJ Logic (The Anomaly). Their fertile collaboration began in 2002 with their well-received debut Front End Lifter, and the new music continues on the same path of experimentation with a modern trans-cultural and urban blend.” — All About Jazz With his group Yohimbe Brothers, guitarist Vernon Reid (ex-Living Colour) joins forces with his New York buddy DJ Logic to create a fusion sound at the crossroads of funk, rap, and Latino rhythms. This film challenges the image/sound relationship using a VJ technique in postproduction that recreates the conditions of live multi-cam and treats each song with specific graphics animation.

This first-ever DVD on Yohimbe Brothers can be experienced as an exploration of the particular resonances between image and sound in the tradition of the great psychedelic trips of the ’70s.

All of the artists are very supportive of this film, and interviews are currently being planned.

Featured artists include Vernon Reid, DJ Logic, Jared Nickerson, Latasha Diggs, Leon Gruenbaum, and Deantoni Parks.

“The organic quality of her work continues on this DVD performance, released by the French company La Huit … As the four pieces in the live program progress, the music grows looser, whether due to greater improvisation or the composer’s cleverness in suggesting such extemporaneousness never becoming an issue. Either way, the music is consistently surprising and quite beautiful … The program is nicely shot, with multiple cameras and a variety of shot set-ups along with a pair of dancers … such attention to visual elements makes the disc rise above the usual filmed performance. La Huit has made a name for itself by creating films worthy of the music the company documents … It’s a company worth watching for, and with luck its unique products will receive better promotion and distribution.” — All About Jazz Swiss pianist-composer Sylvie Courvoisier, New York violinist Mark Feldman, and German cellist Anja Lechner perform music composed by Courvoisier and published in 2004 by ECM Records.

APRIL At the start of World War II, the German Battle Fleet posed a great threat to Britain’s naval supremacy. Although greatly outnumbered by the combined power of the Royal Navy, the German battleships vastly outgunned most of the ships in the British Fleet and were a particular threat to merchant ships and their destroyer escorts.

In this program, follow the Royal Navy’s campaign to sink the largest German battleships—the Tirpitz, the Bismarck, and pocket battleship the Graf Spee. Also examined are the roles of battleships in supporting the Allied landings at Anzio. A special bonus program reviews the Battle of Midway, the first naval conflict where neither of the opposing fleets ever sighted each other and battleships acted only as screens for the carrier forces.

CHAPTERS Introduction • Bismarck and Tirpitz • Hunt for the Graf Spee • Sinking of the Hood • The Landings at Anzio • The Battle of Midway SPECIAL FEATURES Interactive Menu • Scene Selections Stills Gallery • Excerpts from Other War File Titles Main feature length: 55 min.

The war in the Pacific was primarily a naval war. It was marked by a series of amphibious operations that gradually rolled back Japanese forces in the Southern and Central Pacific until Allied forces were on the threshold of the Japanese home islands. It was punctuated by a series of epic naval battles, fought largely by carrier-based planes, between the US and Japanese navies.

Beginning with the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, witness the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. Each battle, respectively, marked the apex of Japanese expansion in the Southern and Central Pacific, followed by the naval battles in the Marianas and Leyte Gulf that finally broke Japan’s naval power and laid open the road to Tokyo.

The US Army Air Force’s strategic bombing campaign of Germany relied on huge daylight raids of mass formations of bombers accompanied by fighter escorts. Operating from airfields in rural England, the B-24 Flying Fortresses and B-17 Liberator Bombers of the 8th and 9th Army Air Forces, accompanied by Mustangs, relentlessly brought the reality of the war to the Nazi heartland, but at a terrible price in both men and machines.

In this program we follow the US Army Air Force’s bombing campaign over Germany and the terrible destruction that it wrought. Also included is a special bonus program on the strategic bombing campaign against Japan that culminated with the dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

Stalking the Atlantic, bringing instant death to merchantmen and warship alike, the U-Boats challenged the Royal Navy’s traditional supremacy of the oceans, threatening to cut Britain’s vital supply lines and starve her into submission.

Using rare archive footage, much of which was previously unavailable in the West since World War II, this program examines the U-Boat war that the Allies and Nazi Germany fought for mastery of the Atlantic. Also included is a special program on the use of submarines by the Japanese Navy in the attack on Pearl Harbor. chapters Introduction • Doenitz and Raeder: Dominant Commanders of the German Navy • The Forming of Wolf Packs • Introduction of the Radar Scanners • The Attack on Pearl Harbor • Overtaken by Technology SPECIAL FEATURES Interactive Menu • Scene Selections • Excerpts from Other War File Titles • Stills Gallery Main feature length: 54 min.

Selling Points • The unique sound of the hang drum allows the listener to relax into a melodious, sensual sound bath.

SELLING POINTS • Sarah Bauhan began playing the tin whistle at twelve years old, and started performing for the public two years later in Dudley Laufman’s Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra. She was heavily influenced by the revival of Celtic music during the ’70s and ’80s.

• Through the years, Bauhan has performed at festivals, concerts, and dances around the country. She has also taught whistle and flute to both adults and children at dance camps, in schools, and in workshops.

Her performance options range from a simple duo with a guitarist to a four-piece band including fiddle, guitar, bass, and piano.

Accompanied mainly by a spare, spry acoustic guitar, Bauhan is also joined memorably by pipes on the epic ‘Renn’s March/Leaving Port Askaig.’ As her flute sketches the insistent melody over strums of plaintive guitar, the pipes rise in the background until the triumphant breaking point where the piper fleshes out Bauhan’s playing with grace and grandeur.” — All Music Guide
