Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

DVD: Lennie Breau & Brad Terry

Breau & Terry.jpg
Lenny Breau & Brad Terry Live at the Maine Festival (Art of Life). The genius guitarist and one of Breau’s favorite duet partners, clarinetist and whistler Terry, are on camera for “Emily” and “Autumn Leaves” in a 1980 concert. They are heard but not seen for “Limehouse Blues” and “Make Someone Happy.” The video quality is subaqueous, but clear enough for you to detect their enjoyment. The sound is okay in the video, excellent in the audio-only portions. The playing is inspired throughout. Bonus features include an interview with Terry and a complete Breau discography.
