@greg2gotravel The TS series are all on DVD, however, only in the UK market (PAL-TV mode, Region 2). They are not available in the North American market (yet) but can be purchased online from European distributors. A region-free, PAL-compatible DVD player is needed to view them in the USA. Or a properly-equipped PC.
@greg2gotravel The Transatlantic Sessions DVD series does use PAL format. However, it is actually encoded region-free (Region 0). Many players in North America are capable of playing both PAL and NTSC discs. I'm from the land of NTSC formatting and Region 1 encoding; both my DVD players, while not being region-free players, still can play these PAL Transatlantic Sessions DVDs. I ordered my DVDs in this series from both Amazon and also Amazon UK (where released sooner).
@PopHorizonScanner I have 3 DVD decks, and only the oldest one is able to read PAL DVDs (it was hacked via 'secret engineer's code'). The other 2 more recent players will play Region 0, but if it's PAL video mode, they give error msgs and eject the discs. It's a hit-n-miss situation with American players. Depends on how the firmware is programmed. The best thing to do is research various brands & models online before buying one to play non-NTSC discs.
Great to see the wonderful Danny Thompson involved in these sessions. What a time old John Martyn would have had amongst these world-class musicians. Sadly missed.
where can I get a Blue ray or DVD of all these Trans Sessions AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

That's not a traditional tune. That's Bela's composition and is on the latest Flecktones album. It's wonderful!

@derfeus Thnx for the info. I've amended the description for the sake of accuracy and credit to the composer.

Pretty sure it's not Bela's tune. You can find Felani on Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni ba's album I Speak Fula released in 2009. Worth checking out :)
