the recording, picture quality and performance on this dvd is outstanding. recorded live at jazzopen stuttgart in june of 1994. it's a real treat to see these three performers on a dvd recording. it's rare to see ECM artists on dvd with the exception of people like keith jarrett. the dialogue between ripdal, vitous and gurtu is exceptional. i love the spaciness of ripdal's guitar work, the creative percussion of gurtu and the bass of vitous. these three appear to be quite comfortable playing together. there is plenty of interaction and solo's to be content with. i highly recommend this dvd if you enjoy any of these three artists. you will not be disappointed.

Very nice concert DVD for the home system. The percussionist made some great sounds too. Would of liked to be there.....

I like guitar DVDS. I like avante guard music. I like experimental music. Any music done with a guitar.

Miraslav is never anything but outstanding. No matter what, no matter where.

The close ups of Trilok sticking a bell in water to get "different" sounds was, well, less than inspiring.

Terje is just not up to the standards of anyone I know of. I don't have the slightest idea how he got so popular. Is it new age?? He's no Ottmar leibert. Is it jazz? He's no Mike Stern. No, not by a long long shot. In fact he is not half as good as anyone I can think of. Not half as good as Jan Akkerman. German experimentalist Fred ( uhm what's his last name). Not even close. In fact don't bother with this DVD if your looking for good guitar playing. Take your money and go get some hot dogs and eat them. You will enjoy that a whole lot more.
