Clarence Gatemouth Brown

Part of being an artist is being a teacher. Directly or indirectly, through their work or their words, artists teach. In this series of DVDs, some of the most important jazz artists are presented in a unique master class setting. They perform, they talk about their lives and work, students play for them and they comment and instruct those students. Students discuss their expectations before the class and their thoughts after the class. Viewers will observe learning taking place, and come to understand how great artists think, perform and teach. This DVD features a Gatemouth Brown performance recorded in September of 2004 at Loyola University in New Orleans, with a master class, as well as an interview at Gatemouth Brown’s home with Loyola students. Running time: 2 hours, 1 minute.
