JAZZ IN MONTREUX SERIES

Description:
The thing about Quincy Jones' masterful approach to any musical genre he decides to dip into is that it is so professionally executed one can sit back in awe as well as be totally entertained and enthralled with the product. 50 Years in Music: Live at Montreux 1996 features a powerful orchestra that knows its place and allows guests like David Sanborn and Chaka Khan to be seen and heard in a new light. "Q" conducts the Northern Illinois University Jazz Band under the direction of Ron Modell, and the slick 24 page booklet is essential reading to go along with this sublime listening and viewing experience. With prominent drums, light guitar and bass, and Jones bringing in other elements such as horns and piano, the ensemble is as perfect as can be imagined. Phil Collins is able to shed his superstardom and show what a really great voice he has, with an appealing low key personality so different from how he is presented in the world of mainstream progressive rock. Austin and Khan duet on "Dirty Dozens" and their pairing is a total delight, as one would expect. This project is Grade A all the way around from performance to packaging, with a bonus track of a 12 minute "workshop" at Montreux, a classroom setting where Jones gives an intimate talk that holds up over repeated viewings, as does the majestic two plus hour concert, making this DVD package a real keeper.
