Grand Masters of Jazz

Three of the jazz world's legendary and most beloved icons - GRAMMY winner & NEA Jazz Master trumpeter CLARK TERRY (American Jazz Hall of Fame, winner of 250+ major awards including the NARAS President's Merit Award), GRAMMY nominee & NEA Jazz Master clarinetist BUDDY DeFRANCO (American Jazz Hall of Fame, winner of 20 DownBeat polls, 16 Playboy All-Stars Awards), and DownBeat's #1 Vibraphonist in the World for 5 years TERRY GIBBS (American Jazz Hall of Fame, ASCAP Jazz Wall of Fame) - join SWING FEVER - San Francisco's preeminent swing band for 35 years - in this lusciously packaged Collector's Edition.

The collection is both an aural and a visual treat - ranging from scorching swing classics to sizzling bebop to sultry ballads - several sung by guest vocalist and featured CNN TV en Español artist JACKIE RYAN early in her career (her subsequent back-to-back chart-topping number one CDs have earned glowing 4 star reviews from both AMG and DownBeat).

Presented in a format that echoes the live radio broadcasts of jazz's Golden Age - the audio CD is punctuated by colorful insider anecdotes by the three GrandMasters themselves - war stories which work their way seamlessly into and around both the 14 songs found on the audio CD and the additional songs on the bonus DVDs.
