THE LAST OF THE BLUE DEVILS
Featuring audio commentary by producer/director Bruce Ricker and 19 minutes of outtakes, including performances of "Honey Hush," "Rose Garden," "Chains of Love" and "Shake, Rattle and Roll" by Big Joe Turner and Jay McShann "DON'T MISS LAST OF THE BLUE DEVILS...all it is is a classic... a kaleidoscope of rich and rhythmic humanity... This beautiful film is about life and jazz and how they interact." -- Jack Kroll, NEWSWEEK "A VERY HAPPY MOVIE... the music of the film covers everything from the Basie big-band sound to Kansas City jazz and blues and the rock and roll that brought attention to Big Joe Turner ("Shake, Rattle and Roll") in the '50s... The talk also transforms a movie about music into a movie about time, about its passage and about the way, through art, it can be made to stand still." -- Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES "THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT -- a jazz film more important -- or more fun -- than THE LAST OF THE BLUE DEVILS." -- Robert Palmer, ROLLING STONE "To see it is to love it. THE LAST OF THE BLUE DEVILS is the second half of Woodstock." -- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
