Starring:Brian McKnight

As Brian McKnight points out, the "Music in High Places" series presents artists performing "without a net." There are no "smoke and mirrors" that can disguise a lack of ability nor can anything be "corrected" in post-production. This installment takes place in the scenic, rural community of Sao Luis, Brazil, rather than in a big city like Sao Paulo. It isn't a collection of videos, but rather a combination of acoustic performances and commentary from McKnight about his music and travels. Although he doesn't perform any Brazilian songs, he incorporates a samba-like beat into several of his own mid-tempo R&B-flavored numbers about love and spirituality. For McKnight fans, this is essential viewing--an opportunity to get to know the man as though you were there. The feeling is spontaneous and unrehearsed, even if McKnight and his crew had to work long and hard to create that impression. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Nice DVD.......2007-03-08

I actually expected more on this DVD. I don't believe this DVD did much justice to Brian's musical skills and talent, but it's an ok DVD to pass time when you have nothing else to do.

Amazing.......2005-01-12

I completely disagree with the first review, you have to understand that this is a music dvd based in Brazil. Bryan Mcknight is a known Christian which can be seen throughout many of his songs. I do not feel that this video is any way putting down another religion there was just one clip of a religious ceremony,that as a christian, he did not feel right participating in. I don't think that, because of his personal beliefs he should be judged. This dvd was absolutely amazing. Bryan Mcknight is not like most singers today, he has amazing talent and you can see just how talented he is in this dvd. Great buy and I recommend it to anyone who likes Bryan because it will make you love his music even more.

McKnight misinformed!.......2003-12-04

I really looked forward to this DVD. As a student of Brazilian Studies I was really interested in his views on Brazil. However I was quite surprised at how little he knew about Brazil. He made some very unfortunate and arrogant sounding statements. Perhaps the worst was his statements regarding Afro-Brazilian religions. He mistook the Candomble religion for Vodoo and called it a mixture of evil and good! Huh? Then he said that the religion didn't have a supreme god. Then he criticized the religios music because it was played in Afro 6/8. He made some vague mention the the devil and 6's! So McKnight... Candomble is not vodoo. Also it does have a supreme god known as Olodumare which equates to the Christian word for god. Also there is no devil in Candomble! The Candomble orixas could be equated to Christian saints. Luckily for him the music is ok...
