Ever since George Benson discovered him in the '70s, acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh has been a major force in contemporary jazz, thanks to his Blue Note, Liberty, and Warner Bros. recordings. On this segment filmed at the BET on Jazz studios in Washington, D.C., Klugh is backed by a superb combo consisting of drums, electric bass, keyboards, percussion, and saxophones, and he delivers a scintillating hour-plus set of quiet storm jazz. Klugh's Chet Atkins-inspired solos provide the melodic seasoning on his hits like the light funk numbers "Wiggle Wiggle" and "Mount Airy Road"; his Latin/Caribbean tunes "Livin' Inside Your Love" and "Dr. Macumba," and his bebop-like swing composition "Take It from the Top." Klugh's romantic side comes through on the beautiful ballad "Rayna," and his radio-friendly grooves illuminate the catchy "Private Affair." Shot in crystal-clear color, Klugh and company look good and sound good with their cutting-edge music for the heart and the hips. --Eugene Holley Jr.

This DVD by Earl Klugh is at the top of my play list. It is that GOOD. Jazz is a fairly wide genre with many moods. This is the kind of jazz that I like best. Excellence in musicianship, flawless selection, and an uninterrupted flow of music brings unabated delight. Beyond 5 stars definitely.

I'm a fan of Earl Klugh for over two decades. I first saw him in concert in San Francisco in the early 80's and was blown away with his melodic sounds. I have seen him live many times since. I purchased this DVD about three years ago and loved it. I recently bought a Home theater system and decided to listen to this DVD for the first time on the system. I couldn't believe the sound! If you think this concert is good on a regular system you need to hear it on a Home Theater! I hope Klugh goes on tour again soon. I am ready for another fix!

This is an impressive DVD/audio. I have never seen him perform, just have several of his CDs.
The picture-video is satisfactory, the sound is excellent, anyone know of any other recorded concert by Klugh?, now mywife wants to go see him live when he swings nearby...

This is my first review ever of a product I have purchased. This tells how much I liked this DVD: the music, the sound, the members of the band, the MUSIC. This DVD is all about the music generated by each member of the band, how they blend, it's a fantastic band. I will certainly purchase the next ones. If you like contemporary jazz, this is an excellent DVD. Kudos to Earl Klugh for his music. Highly recommended.

I heard Earl Klugh for the first time in college of Architecture in 1980. I was so thrilled about the quality of his renditions, and the incredible musical arrangements. I never thought I would get to see him play live someday. But this recording is as good as it gets close to a live participation.
This performer/composer happens to be one of the few I call the best in their genre. Wow. To not own an Earl Klugh recording, for a contemporary jazz music lover, is like living in America without a car!
His compositions give you every penny's worth of your investment. He executes his works of art in a manner revealing an artifice of representation. I am a collector of music over the last 29 years. My tastes are wide, just make the composition and execution good, and you got me.
Earl Klugh is my idea of a perfect work of art. Add nothing, lest you spoil its beauty; remove nothing, lest you dilute the goodness in the taste. Just take it raw, the way it is, for maximum enjoyment.
Isnt that why we listen to music; for maximum enjoyment? You will be glad you experienced this music in your lifetime.
