The event in the town of Gardner Massachusetts was called ""Down in the Dumps"" perhaps the first in what was proposed as a series of musical events to be held in the city landfill area. Luckily, very luckily, Hooker's performance was captured on a three camera shoot and broadcast on cable television in local cities and towns.

About:
British blues legend John Mayall has been leading one version or another of his influential Bluesbreakers band for over 40 years now. The 1980s Bluesbreakers version may well represent the band's best incarnation since Mayall made stars of guitarists Eric Clapton and Peter Green at the dawn of the '60s. Featuring twin guitarists Walter Trout and Coco Montoya, the line-up recorded two albums: 1985's Behind The Iron Curtain, a live recording of a show in Hungary, and 1988's studio effort, Chicago Line. On September 2, 2008 Music Video Distributors will be releasing Mayall's 'Live At Iowa State University' DVD, the disc capturing a rare 1987 performance by the Bluesbreakers with Trout and Montoya at the forefront. Clocking in at nearly an hour-and-a-half, Live At Iowa State University features nine extended songs, including Mayall's signature cover versions of Mose Allison's "Parchman Farm" and Little Walter's "It Ain't Right" along with time-tested originals like "Rolling With The Blues" and "One Life To Live." With these two fiery guitarists leading the fray, this is a performance DVD that you'll want to witness for yourself.

Koerner Ray And Glover Live At 1st Avenue
Format: Music Concert
Distributed By: Planet Blue Pictures US
About:
In today's climate of a blues band seemingly on every corner with "the next Stevie Ray Vaughan" being touted every other minute, it's hard to imagine a time when being a white blues singer was considered kind of a novelty. But in those heady times of the early '60s and the folk and blues revival, that's exactly how it was. But into this milieu came three young men who knew it, understood it, and could play and sing it; their names were Koerner, Ray & Glover. They were folkies, to be sure, but the three of them did a lot -- both together and separately -- to bring the blues to a white audience and in many ways, set certain things in place that have become standards of the Caucasian presentation of the music over the years. The three of them were college students attending the University of Minnesota, immediately drawn together by their common interests in the music and by the close-knit folk community that existed back then.

About:
The first album of the country blues trio from Minneapolis, Minnesota, had Tony "Little Sun" Glover on harmonica, "Spider" John Koerner on guitar and vocals, and Dave "Snaker" Ray on guitar and vocals. Koerner, Ray & Glover were part of the revival of folk music and blues in the 1960s. In his piece for No Depression magazine, author Joel Roberts stated, "Like Bob Dylan, their Minnesota pal and fellow early ’60s folk-blues enthusiast, they combined a deep knowledge of the blues idiom with a sense of humor and irreverence that was absent from the work of many of their much-too-serious contemporaries." Speaking of the trio's experience playing the music of Lead Belly, Blind Lemon Jefferson and other black blues musicians, Koerner later related, "I don’t understand the psychology of it, but somehow we decided to imitate these guys down to the note. And we decided to go out and drink and party, and chase women just like they did in the songs and all kind of shit. And when I look at it now, it seems weird to tell you the truth." Despite recording, performing and being billed as a trio, the three play together only on the opening track, "Linin' Track". Of the other tracks, two feature Ray and Glover, one features Koerner and Glover, and the rest are solo performances. Blues, Rags and Hollers was recorded in Milwaukee during a one-day session

About:
A small company town in Montana is beset by the worst case of a widespread toxic contaminant in U.S. history. For decades, the corporate conglomerate W. R. Grace knew what the residents of Libby did not: that they were being exposed to a deadly form of asbestos. All the while, the company allowed the spread of the contaminant all over the town -- in the school grounds, the Little League baseball field, and in countless homes and yards. Now, the U.S. government has determined that nearly one quarter of the residents have some form of asbestos-related lung abnormality, and hundreds have already died of asbestos-related causes. Libby, Montana is the story of the American dream gone horribly wrong. Libby, Montana was broadcast on the national PBS Series, POV/The American Documentary. It was nominated for a national News and Documentary Emmy Award in 2008.

Liz Story - Solid Colours

About:
Story's remarkable 1983 debut is the intellectual sister of Winston's December--a discursive series of solo piano improvisations that draw on the rich jazz harmony of pioneers like Bill Evans, Story's acknowledged chief inspiration. Yet Colors is almost minimalist next to Evans's more densely textured works--a spacious blend of polychords, breezy runs, and finely timed sustenutos, with an accessible spirit and memorable melodies--like the uplifting figure she plays over a simple descending bassline in "Hymn," or the indelible major-key main theme of "Things with Wings." More economical than Keith Jarrett, more florid and changeable than Winston, Story finds a compelling middle ground here between jazz harmony and classical technique, outside improv and sturdy songcraft, complex performance and inner stillness.

Louis Armstrong
Format: Music Concert
Distributed By: Planet Blue Pictures US
About:
If there is a mythical father of jazz as we know it, then trumpeter, singer, bandleader, Louis (Pops; Satchmo; Dippermouth; Satch; Dipper; Papa Dip) Armstrong best fits the description. Though he was not the first jazz trumpet player, others such as his own mentor Joe "King" Oliver preceded him in that regard, Louis is the most influential jazz trumpeter of all-time. His trumpet virtuosity was peerless and he set the tone early on for all jazz trumpet players who followed, regardless of their stylistic proclivities. The trumpet is a signature instrument in jazz largely because of Louis Armstrong. The instrument's lineage as a powerful jazz clarion, stretching forward from Louis to Bix Beiderbecke, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Don Cherry, Woody Shaw, Jon Faddis, Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, and Nicholas Payton got its wings from Armstrong's example. As Miles Davis was heard to say, there ought to be a time when every jazz musician kneels down and says a prayer of thanks for Louis Armstrong.

About:
The 2007 PG Worlds held in Manilla, Australia, was one of the closest fought contests in the history of the event. Despite less than ideal weather conditions, 150 pilots did battle over 6 tasks culminating in a nail biting finish that saw British multiple champion and designer of Airwave paragliders, Bruce Goldsmith, crowned World Champion. 3D tracks and Google Earth landscapes are used to analyse each task blow by blow, giving you the chance to learn from the best pilots in the world who talk candidly about their decision-making processes. Stunning onboard footage and high quality in air and ground based camera work captures the highs and lows of high level competition in a way rarely seen before. Even the excitement and risk of competing at this highest echelon is portrayed with several mid airs caught on film.
