Alessandro Duranti's videos

In this channel I share audiovisual documentation of jazz performances, rehearsals, and conversations that I recorded over the years with the help of legendary guitarist Kenny Burrell who ntroduced me to the musicians featured here and generously helped arrange for their performances and discussions to be recorded.

Some of the material comes from a course on jazz that Kenny and I taught at UCLA (in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2011) and includes both musical performances and conversations with guest artists. Other recordings I plan to upload document rehearsals, concerts, and club dates. Together, these videos offer glimpses into the creative processes, personal histories, and collaborative relationships that sustain the world of jazz.
