Captured live in London at the Royal Festival Hall, this is a great way to experience the music of the legendary Duke Ellington. The Bob Wilber Big Band work their way through a number of classic numbers from the jazz giant, comfortably interpreting some highly revered material throughout the show. Wilber has worked extensively with Ellington's material in the past, earning a Grammy award for his work on the COTTON CLUB soundtrack, which was littered with compositions from the late jazz man. Here he leads his highly proficient band through a selection of Ellington tunes, delighting the London crowd with an exuberant display of musical wonder that perfectly illustrates the timeless wonder of Duke's work.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Thrill Jockey label owner Bettina Richards originally conceived the idea for this anthology as way to celebrate Thrill Jockey's 10th anniversary. Uninterested in creating a traditional retrospective, Richards paired up with filmmaker Braden King in an attempt to dig deeper into the world of non-commercial music. The goal of LOOKING FOR A THRILL was to explore the drive, determination, and passions that drive musicians to create in a world that most values commercial viability. In 112 interviews with several stars of independent music (including Bjork, Yo La Tengo, and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth), King collects an array of intimate experiences and anecdotes about the music industry. While some artists credit a single concert or moment as the inciting incident that prompted them to become musicians, others claim to be inspired largely by fellow artists. Several Thrill Jockey bands also make appearances, including The Sea And Cake, Tortoise, Freakwater, and more. Completed nearly three years after the label's 10th anniversary, LOOKING FOR A THRILL is Thrill Jockey's 100th release.
