From musictap.net:

Jazz music comes to Blu-Ray. On October 24, Legends of Jazz will be released on the new hi-def format and should be all kinds of eye candy...all kinds. This title is already selling well on DVD scanning 11,000 units since April of this year.

'Legends of Jazz: Showcase' Blu-ray Details

October 12, 2006

"According to a publicist for the studio, 'Legends of Jazz: Showcase' will be presented in widescreen 1080p video and include a trio of audio tracks: Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital 5.1, and PCM Stereo. Unless there is an unfortunate listing error, and we don't think so, this will mark the first Dolby TrueHD track on a Blu-ray Disc. HD-DVD has already seen several Dolby TrueHD tracks with more on the way."

I thought this thing was released a few weeks ago! Hopefully the TrueHD is 24/48 at least.

"In Europe, consumers will receive a complimentary copy of LEGENDS OF JAZZ “SHOWCASE” on Blu-ray Disc with the purchase of any cutting edge Samsung Blu-ray player."

" Craig Eggers, Senior Partner Marketing of Dolby Laboratories, comments, “In many circles, Jazz is regarded as the crowning achievement of musicianship and musical performance. In much the same way, playback of music videos, and movie tracks on Blu-ray software are equally transformed by Dolby TrueHD lossless audio technology. With 5.1 channel Dolby TrueHD, the music enthusiast can enjoy - in their home - the full essence of the entire performance, just as it happened on the stage, concert hall or in the studio. Every nuance of this extraordinary musicianship is captured. Nothing is lost. Dolby TrueHD audio recreates the entire performance, just as it happened."
