This DVD covers the legends of jazz drumming from the pre-1920s through the 1970s with still photos and rare film clips. Let's check it out. Drum Legends, Some of the jazz legends like Baby Dodds, Ben Pollack, and George Wettling, are only covered in words and still photos but many of the key drummers are shown in video clips that give you a good idea of their groove capabilities and, in some cases, solo work as well. The Legends of Jazz Drumming DVD, whose material was originally contained on two VHS tapes, consists of two major sections. Louie Bellson supplies the narration throughout with additional commentary by Roy Haynes and Jack DeJohnette.
