Summary: Ho Hum
Review: Safe chord sequences with bland octave melodies(x a few even
numbered bars) 1x soloist,repeat melody next soloist, etc. etc.
Good sound,production & performance,zero innovation.

A small notch above elevator muzak.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must have
Review: Simply said, this DVD is a must-have for those who love smooth jazz, the music of Fourplay, especially Lee Ritenour. Lee pretty much 'steal' the show. The synergy that made Fourplay special in the early 90's is clearly demonstrated, and it's a great pity that Lee is no longer with them. Nothing against Larry Carlton who took over after Lee left, but there no longer the powerful synergy and creativity in Fourplay later releases. The audio volume is a bit low, but quality is great. I especially enjoy the beautiful editing, very watchable, unlike the fast cartoon-like editing common in pop/rock that degrade the music and spin the head.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Bad Audio
Review: The recording level is so low. When you crank it up, there is a loud hum which make it annoying to enjoy. I collected lots of music DVD and have tried this DVD with Nakamichi 1A1z (.01 THD) and Yamaha V1000 (.04 THD) with same result (distorted). Avoid!
However, my rating for the content is 5 stars. Musianship, guest stars, backup singers, song selections are world class. Rating for video is 3.5 star due to limitation of the location (inside a studio). What are they (audio eng.) thinking? This is a superb performance by world class musicians ruins by audio mastering! Unacceptable!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Word: Musicianship
Review: The sound was excellent (stereo -- not Dolby 5.1), and the lighting/editing/cinematography was good. But the musicianship was OUTSTANDING. Bob James was fantastic, Lee Ritenour was phenominal, Harvey Mason was dynamic, and Nathan East was incredible!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Teamwork
Review: This DVD is a good example of excellent teamwork. The quality of the sound and video is good. The reason for a rating of four is because there was one track with low recording. This is a great DVD to play, seatback and enjoy the music.
