Night Flight

R.E.M. Profile + Directions in Jazz (1987x411)

:

Highlights from R.E.M.'s career to date in music video form are shown with some great interview bites from the group members. Whether or not you approved of the direction Kenny G, Branford Marsalis, Bobby McFerrin & Herb Alpert took this beloved genre back in the heady days of 1988, that was pretty much the best of what the mainstream had to offer and here it is in all of its pre-fab, slick and kid-friendly glory. Call it "Jazz" or what you will, you cannot deny the brassy entertainment value of the music videos you will see in this edition Night Flight's "Direction In Jazz"! Miles Davis does make an appearance, so there is a bit of credibility thrown in the mix, too.
