Summary: The Best
Review: I agree with Daniel A. Hess. I am a long time Lee Ritenour fan, and have everything he has released on vinyl, CD, VHS and DVD. The VHS/DVD's vary in quality and performance. Some have good video and fair audio. Some have good audio and fair video. The perfomance,camera work and audio are excellent here, and they look like they're really having fun performing together. Even though I am also a Larry Carlton fan, I wish Lee had stayed with Fourplay.
The only drawback is this should have a Dolby 5.1 or DTS soundtrack.

Summary: Smooth & Relaxing Jazz!
Review: This is a great DVD for obvious reasons.You get a talented group like Fourplay to perform many of their hits in front of a small crowd, and the sound is outstanding.The visuals are perfect, and you get to see each member up close! The guest stars are a nice bonus too! Philip Bailey (of Earth Wind & Fire), Phil Perry (needs to learn some restraint! ), and the 'fabulous' Chaka Khan, who shows why she is popular among Jazz musicians. If you love contemporary jazz, invest in this DVD!

Summary: The Reference Standard Jazz Band
Review: If you love smooth jazz, with an emphasis on smooth, then you must be aware of the band called FOURPLAY. This live recording is proof-positive of the genius of each member of this extraordinary band. Harvey Mason makes playing the drums look effortless and reminds everyone of us when we first discovered how much fun it seemed being a drummer must be. Bob James is the reference standard for today's would-be jazz pianist, and this DVD shows off his talent very well. Nathan East and Lee Ritenour are dazzling in their performances as are the guests, Phillip Bailey, Phil Perry, and none other than CHAKA KAHN! This DVD is a "Must-Have" for anyone who enjoys seeing and hearing great, smooth, contemporary jazz.

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.

Summary: Is it 0 or 5 stars?
Review: Very good concert, very good performances, very good music, very good sound, resuming: 5 stars. But not everything's perfect; in "volume one" you hear a thing while you watch another. The audio-video sync has not been what I was expecting of a DVD (as it has happened in many other occassions). When I buy a concert of such talented musicians, I want to see how're they playing in real time, not that stupid delay. Volume 2 is OK.

Summary: I agree with William Tyson!
Review: It's a pity William (Bill) Tyson did not give me his copy of this DVD for my 50th Birthday - I had to buy my own! Nonetheless, I completely agree its a great DVD and just perfect for afeter dinner relaxing. Lets have some more recent material on DVD please.

Summary: Extremely Smooth Jazz
Review: I bought this DVD and have played it many times, particularly when we have company over. It is truly a crowd pleaser! I am buying my second DVD since I gave my first to my brother-in-law for his 50th Birthday.

Summary: Dynamic and smooth
Review: This DVD is not even 5.1 surround , but the sound is excellent. Yes you do have to crank the volume up a little bit more but the result is astounding. Use good playback equipment like revell sub and willson puppies with mark levinson amps. and enjoy the artistry and the strange jacket that Lee is wearing!
