Awesome Jazz DVD !!!!.......2004-09-22

The guy who put 1 star for that DVD must be joking!!!!
That DVD is great, the version of Duke's "Caravan" alone worth the price... Marcus Robert (the pianist) is a monster... Marsalis is inspired... Go on!!!

Great Wynton!.......2004-07-31

Whoever says that Wynton can't swing obviously hasn't listened to him lately. As for Harry James, he didn't play bop! Bop isn't a heavy swing. Wynton shows his versatility and technical prowess on this one! I only wish that he would go back to playing with the fire that he plays with on this video!!!

Stick to Playing Classical Music.......2004-02-07

A superb trumpeter of classical music, Marsalis could not swing his ass. It is a sad commentary of the times that the brilliant horn of Byron Stripling receives scant press, and Marsalis makes the big bucks for playing awful jazz. Harry James: Where are you now that we need you?
