Product Description

The real David Murray might just be hiding in this double DVD set. There is a strange paradox running through these three films: when we watch them, we don t learn so much about the man, but a lot about his music. Yet this is surely where the true David Murray lies.''I'm a jazzman: don t look elsewhere, don t mistake me for someone else. Everything I have to say is in my music; it talks about me and the world...''

DAVID MURRAY, I'M A JAZZMAN (2008 - 53')

A slice in the life of saxophonist David Murray captured by the camera, a privileged testimony of a life merged with the story of jazz, as one of its ultimate heroes.

Featured artists:

• Cassandra Wilson
• Gwo Ka Masters
• Amiri Baraka & others

DAVID MURRAY AND THE GWO KA MASTERS - LIVE IN SAINTE LUCIE (2008 - 46')

This film, shot during a stopover at Sainte Lucie, an island in the West Indies, restores the energy of a masterful concert performed with traditional Guadeloupian drums gwo ka fused with supremely avant-gardist jazz.

DAVID MURRAY BLACK SAINT QUARTET - LIVE AT BANLIEUES BLEUES FESTIVAL (2010 - 38')

A film in the form of a style exercise, or an exercise with style, pertinence and sensitivity, like a mirror in which jazz would be reflected.
