Teddy Wilson's music is a sublime escape into another world for me. His melodies are like a timeless journey, each note creating a mesmerizing atmosphere. I can't help but celebrate the sheer brilliance that his music brings to my soul.

I haven’t, because of the collective short attention span. You, Piotr, are the remarkable exception.

Really? I doubt I'm the only one who would watch or listen to the whole thing! And considering these clips have already over a thousand views clearly means there's demand ;) If they were all compiled together then I could also do an upscaling of all the content, correcting blur and halos, can't do it unless I have the whole thing in one piece though...

Michael, have you considered compiling all the tape fragments from these shows in Nice and making one long video of them? I'd personally love to have at least this 1977 show in one piece.
