Get the full Thievery live show feeling without having to leave the comfort of your home. Their first ever live concert DVD is now available. In January of 2010, Thievery Corporation thrilled fans when they sold out 5 consecutive nights at local DC venue, 9:30 Club. The shows were filmed with vintage anamorphic lenses that created flaws and subtle characteristics (including creating flares as the light hits the lens), and have an otherworldly and abstract visual quality.

Rose Hall, home of Jazz At Lincoln Center for two sold-out shows dedicated to vintage blues. The extraordinary collaboration, billed as Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues, paired these musical virtuosos with members of the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra as they brought to life a repertoire of songs selected by Clapton and arranged by Marsalis. Reprise Records captures the magic of these unprecedented shows from earlier this year on CD, and as a CD/DVD combo, that both feature selections taken from the two public concerts (April 8-9), as well as special performance of Jazz At Lincoln Center‟s annual gala (April 7). The band nimbly navigated a diverse set list that touched on different styles, from the four-on-the-floor swing of Louis Armstrong‟s “Ice Cream” and ...
