I shared video clips featuring three musicians at our last class session: Mylene Farmer, Miles Davis, and Wynton Marsalis. The clips also included other key jazz figures such as Wayne Shorter and Cassandra Wilson. Part of the reason I wanted to share the Jazz DVD went beyond the music and to share how it was made by Ken Burns.
I could freely share the Jazz vignettes in class, but I can't provide them to you as downloads. However, I can share some of the Mylene Farmer material as it has been made freely available on the web. If you have better speakers than the ones in our classroom, then you may want to view the live version of her 2008 song C'est dans l'air performed live below. (After pressing play, and after the 12 second advert, I suggest using the pause button to let the movie load for about 2 minutes before playing.)
You can also download the above video in iPhone compatible size:
You can download the 13 minute video released in January 2009 that includes the first and last songs on her new album. (That's not quite right as there's a hidden final track on her album where she sings Ave Maria.)
You can also download a 7 minute interview with Mylene conducted in June 2009 on the main national news show in France. The interview is translated in English using subtitles.
