On this video, the band performs a set
of eight brilliant compositions -- two by each memeber of the
group -- which range in style from the spiritual ballad feel
of "The Well" by John Patitucci, to the second-line
funk of "Cats and Kittens" by Peter Erskine, and from
the country inflected swing of "That's For Sure" by
John Abercrombie, to the strutting groove of "Modern Day
Tuba", by Bob Mintzer. Interspersed between these phenomenal
performances, each member of the group steps forward to discuss
his own approach to playing his instrument and to playing in
an ensemble. A very special concert and clinic all-in-one. ©1998,
105 minutes. VHS. |
