In order to celebrate the forth coming release of the new Ellis Marsalis project, "An Open Letter To Thelonious", we've created some video teasers to introduce it. The first "Jazz LP" in the new iTunes "LP" project it, contains (11) core audio tracks; (3) bonus audio tracks; (4) bonus high-definition video tracks; a bonus song etymology from Robin D.G. Kelley's, Simon & Schuster publication Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original; visual and spoken liner notes; and (10) bonus photos.
When we started this project we wanted to do something completely unque. We wanted to create an experience that jazz buyers have not been able to have in one package before. Music, videos, photos, bonus audio, bonus literary content--- its all here... in one package.
Comes out in January 2011. Check out the first video trailer... the revolution may not be telivised, but it will be on iTunes.
