I have a copy of the DVD, but I prefer the CD. I actually have two copies of the CD, just in case I drop one, resulting in permanent damage. :)

only America could have given the world rock & roll
You may be confusing Rock & Roll with 'Rock'. Two entirely different things.

but virtually the rest of the entire world has a European "bias" on Classical Music
America is an 'exceptional' country, so this is not surprising.

Folks seemed to agree
So do I. I just have an American bias, just as you have a European bias.

Glad you like the music.
Jazz is hard for me I don't always get it. Been trying for a couple years and the needle is starting to move but most of jazz intricacies are musically way over my head.
As with any type of music, no one likes it all. Most times, there is nothing to "Get". It just strikes a chord with you, or it does not. Any Jazz tune with the word BLUES in the title is a safe place to start. BTW, Jazz intricacies are musically way over most of our heads, The Frogman being an exception. But that's no reason not to enjoy the music.

When it comes to Opera, all we need is Rossini for the overtures, and Mozart and Puccini for the Operas.
Great post.

*Elisabetta d'Inghilterra : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZuKaIqhsFU
*Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra (Italian pronunciation: [elizaˈbɛtta reˈdʒiːna diŋɡilˈtɛrra]; Elizabeth, Queen of England) is a dramma per musica or opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini to a libretto by Giovanni Schmidt, from the play Il paggio di Leicester (Leicester's Page) by Carlo Federici, which itself "was derived from a novel The Recess (1785) by Sophia Lee." Some of Elisabetta 's music was recycled in later operas and a part of Elisabetta's first aria was re-used by Rossini four months later in Rosina's aria "Una voce poco fa" in the opera The Barber of Seville.

**Miles' last recording. He died a few weeks after this.
Excerpt from The Last Miles:
Live Around The World: On recording Miles’s last concert
Hindsight is a wonderful thing and you can be sure that if anyone had known that Miles’ performance at the Hollywood Bowl on 25 August 1991 would be his last, a video crew would have been dispatched to the stadium and probably a remote recording facility too. As it happened, this final performance was not even recorded professionally. Indeed, Miles’ concert sound mixer, Don Kurek didn’t even use a DAT [digital] recorder. Instead, he plugged an analogue Sony Walkman Pro deck into the mixing desk and in the words of road manager Gordon Meltzer: “ Recorded on the cheapest, one-dollar non-metal tape audio cassette you could get.” The resulting recording was dogged by tape hiss, pops and drop-outs (where the sound disappears because of blemishes on the tape’s oxide coating). Yet the producers of Live Around The World were able to salvage a recording that was good enough to include on a CD, and that was largely thanks to modern studio technology.
