3.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, March 1, 2011

If you're truly a Lynne Arriale fan, you won't find a whole lot of her playing here, at least on the CD. IMHO, the disc should've been

called "Trumpeto Blarissimo" by Randy Brecker, (featuring Lynne Arriale). He's on nearly every song, and plays a dominant role in the

project. The music is fine, (most of it was written by Arriale), but I was expecting more of her signature playing, with perhaps three

songs featuring Mr. Brecker. Additionally....the engineering on this recording has a lot to be desired. Overall, it's recorded at levels

that are too high, creating that terrible "fuzzy, sibilant" kind of distortion on certain notes from both the trumpet and piano during

louder passages. No, I'm not listening on cheap equipment, either. It's quite high grade, and it handles demanding music very well. This

disc could've been so much better. I'm also not trying to come across as an audiophile "snob". I'm just offering a head's up, for prospective

buyers. The CD /DVD combo is truly a cool idea, though....and a value.

This combo CD/DVD is a winning combination. One of my favorite pianists is Richie Bierach, because I've listened to much of his discography, I've followed his close colleagues like bassist George Mraz, who not only plays here, but has played with Richie for years. Richie has been an associate producer on several of Lynne Arriale's releases. This DVD comes with personal interviews of each band member and one with this combo producer, Suzi Reynolds, which was very insightful. This package is very cool!

These post-bop tunes and the musicianship are of a high caliber. I highly recommend this package and all other Lynne Arriale releases.
