Summary: The Jazz Channel Presents Earl Klugh
Review: If you don't have this one in your collection you are really missing out. Earl Klugh is at his phenomenal best. Lenny Price on saxes is from another planet! He has total command of his horns! Buy it! 10 bucks is theft!

Summary: Thoughts from a member of the band
Review: My name is Lenny Price. I have been touring and recording as the saxophonist with jazz legend Earl Klugh for more than three years.

I purchased "The Jazz Channel Presents Earl Klugh (BET on Jazz)" DVD and discovered that the members of Earl's band are not credited for our performance. It seems this detail was omitted during the complicated process of preparing the packaging and end credits for this product. ...

David Spradley - Keyboards; Lorenzo "Spoons" Brown - Percussion; Ron Otis - Drums; Al Turner - Bass; Al Duncan - Synthesizers; Lenny Price - Saxophones, Yamaha WX5 wind synthesizer

And of course ... Earl Klugh - Acoustic guitar

Performing with musicians of this caliber has been both my pleasure and privilege. It was great to finally be able see our show from the audience's point-of-view. And, the outstanding image and audio quality made the experience even more rewarding!

Hopefully, this information will help you all connect a little more intimately with Earl's music.... Enjoy!

Summary: Excellent Jazz DVD - Just buy it
Review: One of the best music DVD I have so far. I got around 15 in my library at the moment. The music is so good and the band is just excellent. The video and the audio is also 5 stars. The only thing I didn't like is that Earl didn't have a chance to talk to the audience. I wish the producer would gather all the smooth or contemporary jazz players such as David Benoit, Dave Grusin, Kenny G, Rippingtons, Fourplay etc. and let them play in a similar enclosed environment. Just buy it you won't regret it. It is cool and smooth....

Summary: Get A Klugh
Review: One of the first Jazz albums I bought was Earl Klugh's Heart Strings back in the early 80's. I've enjoyed his music ever since. I've always wanted to see him in concert but never got an opportunity, until now. I very much enjoy the DVD. The music and picture are excellent and I also enjoyed the interview. Would have liked a more comprehensive interview and also wished they had some info on his band, as I thought they were excellent. I recommend highly.

Summary: Beautifully Rendered, Earl Klugh. Taking it from the Top!
Review: The greatest acoustic guitarist in the world, in concert. You know,Earl Klugh is a very talented guitarist and i've been wondering if he has his music on Video, until i saw this DVD and i promptly purchased it. Ever since i bought this DVD, i've been playing it each and every day, and i'm still playing it always and even till the next 20 centuries, i'm sure i'll still be playing it. I love it just like all his other tracks on CD. Every time i listen to this Great DVD, i feel at home, and at please with my number one Jazz artist in the Whole World.The Compilations are great and each tracks are beautifully rendered with a Grand Masters touch that can only come from no other acoustic guitarist than my Main-Man, Earl Klugh. I do recommend this DVD to all Jazz lovers in the Universe. It's a Great Collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magnificent and Awesome
Review: There is no word to describe this DVD. It is simply awesome and the concert is flawless. I was glued to my seat and my mouth opening wide "in awe of disbelief" when I listened to the first song "Wiggle". Simply spectacular. All the songs are very melodic supported by a group of solid musicians which make Bon Jovi Band looks so miniscule.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Gold Standard for Music DVDs
Review: This DVD was excellent. It sets the standard for correctly produced video performances. The stage seting, lighting, camera work and of course sound were the best. Mr Klugh said not one word during the entire performance. There was about five seconds of claping before the next cut...YES! All music all the time! If you like Jazz and especially guitar you will not be disappointed!

Summary: Great music; solid performance
Review: This is a fine musical performance that can be appreciated by anyone who enjoys jazz, whether a fan of Earl Klugh or not. True to form, BET Jazz has come through with high production value in terms of sound quality and presentation. The run time of only 73 minutes was a little disappointing (I'm a huge fan; I need more than 12 songs), but one must keep in mind the typical parameters of the original BET programming (this show aired in 2000).

Earl's band covers a very-easy-to-listen-to mix of songs, some funky and upbeat, others more mellow, ranging all the way back to the "Finger Paintings" album of 1977. The band is tight, and the sound comes through pretty clearly. Oddly enough, neither Earl nor any one of his band members utters so much as a word during the entire performance, which means you get a nice string of music with no interruption, but you have to refer to the liner notes to keep track of the song titles. No worries.

The only noteworthy DVD "extra" is a 17-minute "Meet the Artist" feature which has Earl's commentary about musical influences, upbringing, thoughts on acoustic versus electric guitars, etc., interspersed with excerpts from the performance.
