This DVD release contains three of jazz's most outstanding vocalists: Carmen McRae, Mel Torm, and Jimmy Rushing. All three episodes present rare television appearances of each singer, and are collected here on DVD for the first time ever. As a special feature, the DVD can be viewed in its original mono mix or in newly remastered 5.1 surround audio.
Created by world-renowned jazz aficionado Ralph J. Gleason, the Jazz Casual programs were originally broadcast on the National Education Television Network from 1960-1968 to showcase the wild sounds of jazz. Presenting jazz music to American audiences in an intimate and informal setting, the series was unique in that the musical director of each episode was, essentially, the featured artist, an approach that generated the cooperation of the scene's most revered musicians.
