I wanted so much for this to be good.,
By Professor (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lionel Hampton & the Golden Men of Jazz (DVD)
Lionel Hampton & the Golden Men of Jazz live at the Blue Note is one of my favorite jazz CD's. I really was hoping this DVD would be of the same quality. Unfortunately the mixing is really bad. Sometimes all you can hear is cymbal. Clark Terry's flugal sounds muted all the time like it has a rag in it. The overall mix is terrible -- you can barely hear the horns when they are playing together. When a soloist begins, it takes a while before they turn up the microphone. Definitely not of the quality of some of my other favorite DVD's --- Diana Krall live in Paris or Count Basie & Diane Shure. Get those first!

If you have heard these guys, you will love it,
This review is from: Lionel Hampton & the Golden Men of Jazz (DVD)
This DVD has a lot to recommend it. It is in color, sharp
has extras, like biographical info, liner notes. The standing ovation at the end says it all. This concert starts off as a warm up, then, as it moves along, it gets better and better. Examples, Clark Terry's solo on God Bless the Child, Benny Golson's own I Remember Clifford. The great Al Grey, and Harry Sweets Edison doing great solos. Lionel himself, even at this advanced age, shows his stuff, doing solos on the vibes and drums. When Clark Terry does a solo on What A Wonderful World, you will understand the what made this man a giant. These musicians made the world a lot richer. |
