For several decades I've claimed, with a certain artistic license, that Willie is our greatest living jazz singer. Friends from both the jazz crowd and the pickup-truck crowd have either laughed or gotten angry, and in either case refused to take me seriously. Who cares? The twain meet here in what I found to be a seriously fun set, despite some tentative moments (not just in the sense of Willie's meter adventures . . . which are, of course, one reason he is a jazz singer). Chances are that if you have a negative attitude about either side of this musical equation you will not like this musical melding. But if you like jazz all across its rich spectrum . . . and if you like western swing, or Willie . . . you will enjoy this evening of Willie and Mickey on stage with Wynton's quintet. Everybody got a chance to contribute. I especially enjoyed pianist Dan Nimmer's close adaptation to the moments at hand, and his occasional (and apt) strumming, Garner-esque approach. The cut-ins from rehearsal ain't bad either--especially Wynton's stomping and clapping demonstration of a two-beat church rhythm he sought. The camera work is fine for those like me who, when watching a music video, oddly like being able to see what the musicians are doing. Thanks to them and all who made it happen.Vollständige Rezension lesen
New York slicked up New Orleans style Jazz meets Country with Willie Nelson. These worlds have always collided, via Emmett Miller, Bob Wills, Hank Williams and others. Louis Armstrong even tackled this a time or two himself. This is a decent attempt to reprove that musicians do listen to music outside of their prospective field. What hit did Marsalis ever have? He is somewhat knowledgeable. I can recommend this DVD. Why do Jazz fans find the need to applaud ever solo? Only the great solo needs to be interupt a song with crowd response. Great overall production audio/video.

I bought this and was surprised when it arrived as it is a DVD, not a CD. It is VG. I have seen both these artists, together, in person and they do have a chemistry. They do make beautiful music together.
It's on great condición , thanks.
