Billy Harper in Concert:
Live From Poland
Considered one of the premier saxophonists of the post-Coltrane era, Billy Harper’s unique, soulful approach to Jazz is on full display in this full-length concert, live from Szczecin, Poland. Performing at the Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral of St. Jacob, known for its acoustic splendor and gothic brilliance, Harper showcases everything from Jazz, with his symphonic flair, to the mystical reach of Gospel Music.
While constantly evolving from the influential sound of previous Jazz generations, Harper has been careful to carve out his own sound rather than retrace that of music’s past, and in the process has consciously and continuously pushed the bounds and momentum of music forward.

The Whisper Not Tour
A legend in every sense of the word, Benny Golson is one of a few jazzmen whose achievements as a composer equal his accomplishments as a saxophonist.

Performing alongside Benny in this timeless, uncut concert is a plethora of talent; Art Farmer, in his last live recorded video performance with Golson & Curtis Fuller (original members of the historic Jazztet), and the man Time Magazine called “the James Joyce of Jazz,” vocalist extraordinaire, Jon Hendricks.

Nigel Clark in Concert:
Live From Scotland
Europe has been abuzz for the last decade about Nigel Clark, the stunning guitarist from Glasgow, Scotland. Delighting audiences around the globe with his fiery yet fluid sound, the Scottish native has cemented his stellar musical reputation working with the biggest names in Jazz and Pop; opening for Madonna and U2, and working with Michael Brecker, Carol Kidd, Tito Puente and Gloria Gaynor.
Live from Glasgow, Arkadia DVD is proud to present the distinct sound of Nigel Clark in this exclusive live concert performance on DVD (plus an extended live CD version), intertwined with commentary, interviews and stories from Clark himself. Nigel’s career has seen the stadium heights of pop stardom and the rewards of intimate jazz venues. For this performance, Nigel has chosen the latter, preferring the quiet candle flame of this intimate performance over the roar of Bic lighters. The reasons are purely artistic, and hearing is believing.
