I watched the DVD on a portable player with earphones, which greatly accentuates the music, but I wish they would have edited out the two farts during the piano part of Westchester Lady! Otherwise, it is excellent.
August 27, 2007Despite the age of this performance, this has to be one of the most outstanding live jazz performances available on DVD! If you love live jazz, you MUST add this to your DVD collection! You cannot go wrong!

Was Googling for Bob James/FourPlay videos and came across this superb offering. A love for music of all kinds (especially jazz) kept me around broadcasting for "way too long" (DJ's will know what I mean), but before, during and since those 23 years at no point have I ever run across a finer assemblage of talent, or a better portrayal of individual and group artistry, sound & video reproduction, song selection, you name it including unbeatable "house ambience" from the 1999 festival in Switzerland. Musicians like those James guys, George Duke and Rick Braun you expect to deliver, but "no dogs' are running with this pack and artists like Brazilian vocalist Gabriela Anders and keyboardist Mark Stephens hold their own and more. "Brazilian Love Affair" is the finest single, improv performance I've ever seen or heard, what a cut! Advice from here, "buy this DVD or we'll shoot your dog"! ; )) One thing more, you won't go wrong with Gabriela's "Wanting" CD either, she's fantastic!
April 26, 2007I purchased this DVD for my husband, he would give it 10 stars if that was possible, it is a great concert with all the great jazz performers. This was a great purchase, everyone we show it to enjoys it very much.
THANK YOU
February 10, 2007This DVD offers you an elite group of smooth jazz artists collaborating to give you smooth jazz "live" at it's best. The sound and picture quality are great. Each artist demonstrates their versatility during their solos on each song. Don't sleep on this one, it's a keeper!!! I only wish that more artists would consider offering their performances on DVD.
