Product Description
This music DVD features the collaborative effort of an intercontinental ensemble of great improvisers whose styles range from straight-ahead jazz to new classical music. The orchestra's unprecedented rhythmic force is provided by the extraordinary bass team of Michel Godard and Dave Bargeron (an American legend since his recordings for Blood Sweat & Tears). When Rabih Abou-Khalil rehearsed his band in New York prior to the recording of the companion CD, it became evident that the visual potential of this group was also unusual. The regular 5.1 DVD technique positions the viewer in front of the orchestra, but ENJA's 6-channel version has the viewer move within the band, taking an active part in the music. A truly outstanding contribution to the genre of music films, this DVD will be entered in fi lm festivals worldwide. "A perfect music DVD. Five stars for everything." -- Fono Forum
