5.0 out of 5 stars Made it Funky!, July 24, 2007
This review is from: Make It Funky! (DVD)
This DVD was awesome. I discovered the program while channel surfing, and it was so good, I bought TWO copies. The DVD is even better, because it gives you the option of seeing the entire documentary or you can watch just the amazing concert. The explanations of the history of the New Orleans sound was so clear and fascinating. If you love New Orleans Blues, buy this. You'll love it. If you don't know anything about New Orleans Blues, buy this. You'll learn so much. If you don't like New Orleans Blues, buy this anyway -- you'll change your mind!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertainment Plus!!!, May 11, 2008
By Four Drums (Big Apple) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Make It Funky! (DVD)
I was fortunate enough to grow up in an era that new and different music was king, while at the same time some of the best popular music was being produced. All this took was switching from AM to FM radio. Because of this, my ears always seek new music that feeds the mind and rocks the soul. I was familiar with the New Orleans sound, but not enough to really get into it.
Well, this DVD open my ears and educated me of how influential this music scene really is. The music just covers so much territory and crosses the boundaries of every known style of music. The musicians, are top shelf, kicking it really hard and having a blast doing it. It is hard not shake "dat ding" while watching these guys get down. The narration is superb that explains the roots of the music and than injects the live performances to further the point. A very well done DVD and well worth the purchase price. If you love music or better yet a musician, you owe yourself to buy the DVD.Make It Funky!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Me Wanna Dance !!, June 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make It Funky! (DVD)
I rented this DVD on a whim... and was BLOWN AWAY !!

I like to think of myself as a bit of a musicologist, from Chicago blues to Stax R&B to that unique amalgam of styles called N'orleans jazz. The performances on this DVD concert-documentary are nothing short of stellar. The Joint is Jumpin'!!

The documentary sections will remind the viewer of the critical importance of New Orleans in the history of American music. It will also demonstrate that the heart and soul of NOLA is still alive (if not entirely well) in the aftermath of Katrina.

This DVD is a party on-film... Rent it, buy it, DIG IT !!

3.0 out of 5 stars Different than original
The Blue Ray is different than the DVD. The DVD is the music plus the documentary. The Blue Ray is music only and they left out the most awesome young horn players. Read more
