Flawless video, both technically and artistically! --JazzTimes Magazine

Product Description

Jazz and R&B singer Nancy Wilson, a Grammy and Emmy Award winner, gives a memorable performance with her flair for combining vocal refinement, elegance and emotional sincerity with dazzling panache. Filmed live from New York City's Carnegie Hall with a full string orchestra, this DVD concert performance not only showcases Wilson's unique blend of R&B, Jazz, Pop, Blues, Soul, and Gospel, but also includes two memorable duets with Carl Anderson, which made her the highlight of New York's JVC Jazz Festival.

Vocalist Nancy Wilson's accolades are many. Throughout the years, the public, the critics, and her peers have rewarded her with great praise, numerous awards and a multitude of nominations. Her talents have enabled her to carve out a prominent legacy in the music world. Time Magazine noted 'She is, all at once, both cool and sweet, both singer and storyteller,' and the Washington Post felt compelled to comment 'Her intonation is faultless, her pulse sure, and her deft turning of a phrase emotionally convincing.' Wilson herself simply prefers to be called a Song Stylist.

Besides the full string orchestra conducted by Masahiko Satoh, other musicians featured in this magical concert include Lew Matthews (Keyboards), John Williams (Bass), Roy McCurdy (Drums), Carl Anderson (Vocals), and Masahiko Satoh (Synthesizer).

Selections include:
1. Overture
2. Dearly Beloved
3. A Song For You
4. The Way It Goes
5. Folks Who Live On The Hill
6. I Was Telling Him About You
7. You Know
8. How Glad I Am
9. Guess Who I Saw Today
10. First Time On A Ferris Wheel (with Carl Anderson)
11. Forbidden Lover (with Carl Anderson)

I enjoy watching this show over and over again. Ms. Nancy Wilson will always be in a class alone. The duet with Carl Anderson add addtional glamour to this awesome show. I hope this will soon be release on DVD for all of Nancy Wilson supporters.

5.0 out of 5 stars "technically and artistically flawless!", July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Carnegie Hall [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Nancy Wilson makes every song uniquely her own. This 1987 JVC Jazz Festival concert, taped at New York's famed Carnegie Hall, showcases her distinctive amalgam of sensitive phrasing, secure intonation, and strong Jazz feeling. Featured are duets with Carl Anderson. JazzTimes reported this is a flawless video, both technically and artistically.

This review is from: NANCY WILSON at Carnegie Hall (DVD)

Have been waiting for this DVD, for this lady has shared my interest for many years now + recorded at Carnegie Hall What more could one want????
Great concert but poor audio, hallow and very little life from what must have been a great band. Vidio so, so. As reference good, but why not spend some time editing the tapes so we can get the best from a concert like this?SHAME
