2 EPISODES OF THE ACCLAIMED AL LIB SERIES ON 1 DVD

This spectacular DVD showcases the singular talent of American singer-showman Billy Daniels. Hosted by renowned pianist Phil Moore, the episodes on this disc also contain musical contributions from pianist and jazz legend Blossom Dearie, saxophone extraordinaire Eddie Harris, pianist Larry Nash, bassist John Heard, and drummer Jimmy Smith.

The Ad Lib Series, now available on DVD for the first time, is a collection of 46 concert TV programs presenting the best Jazz, Pop and Blues artists showcasing their skills with a Jazz flair. Seen on TV internationally, Ad Lib (filmed in 1980) was the first musical television series recorded in Stereo. Each DVD features 2 episodes of the acclaimed Ad Lib Series.

One of the most successful vocalists to come out of the Big Band Era, Billy Daniels shared the stage with legends such as Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Bailey and Charlie Parker. When he released That Old Black Magic, the song, paired with Daniels' signature voice and dance style, became a massive hit, selling more than 12 million copies. A huge celebrity on TV, in Hollywood, and on Broadway, and advertised as 'America's most exciting singer,' Daniels appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, amongst others, and hosted his own television program, The Billy Daniels Show, one of the first series to star a black performer.

With hit albums and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Billy Daniels was the consummate performer. Daniels was a constant target of racism as an African-American showman who crossed into the mainstream, but he also became an important symbol of both social progress and the American Dream.
