Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent concert
This is a must to have for your Jazz collection. Selection of performers, sound and video quality is GREAT. Highly recommend this concert. If you like jazz you can not go wrong with this disk.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The closest experience to being there live
This is a masterfully produced disc. When you put this in your player and the theme music starts, you know you are in for a great night of jazz.

What truly makes this collection compelling is the well-balanced list of performances. There are artists new and old, well-known and not so well-known, from a surprisingly varied pool of jazz sub-genres: fusion, bebop, swing, latin, and bossa.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Extra-ordinary Performances
From the opening duet with Al Jarreau & Kurt Elling doing a scat rendition of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five", to Ramsey Lewis' tranquil piano on "dear Lord", this disc had me hooked.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best image I've seen on BD
If you want to impress your friends with the best possible quality image, just show them this BD. And it's only 1080i!!!. You can see the minor details of the hair, faces, instruments of the artists, the texture of the clothes, all.

But the image is so amazing that you can forget that the musical pieces in this blu ray are also fantastic.

The only pity is why they don't commercialize all the complete shows one by one in high definition. I'd buy all of them.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect test disc
Perfect disc for Demo , one of my favorite blueray beside Pat matheny the way up disc
