I (& many other Jazz Aficionados) have been searching the cinemascope tapes of this series of FANTASTIC Concerts; Timex Watch Corp angrily bids me to buzz off, perhaps The Library Of Congress ... I believe Georhe Wien had a hand in organizing these ...
Please! If ANYBODY can help save - restore - make availble. PLEASE HELP! These are extremely Important performances that occured during a pivotal time in the social evolution of this country.
