At last a release that will make you want to go out and buy a high definition player. This is far better than the standard DVD release! That is in terms of picture quality and sound. The several movement piece is pretty astonishing. This composition coming in at just over an hour brings together what the group has done since its inception in the late 70's and includes a pastiche of Metheny's musical aspects over this period. This long piece was written in response to our modern leanings towards short soundbites, simplicity or dumbing down in music due to the increasing commercial pressures of mass culture in the media,radio and record companies. It takes several listenings to more fully appreciate whats going in this piece and there is a lot complex things going on here, but it is accessible. The musicianship displayed is phenomenal and the whole band produce an interaction and sound that makes this a wonderfully emotive musical experience. This Blu ray version brings out the various musicians more fully soundwise and there is far more transparency to the sound so you can hear the individual instruments more. With the extras the running time may be a little on the short side and yes we could have had more of the performances of other pieces from the tour but it really does stand on its own, you kind of feel you want to have a rest and just wonder and take in what you have just heard without quickly moving onto the next thing. This is surely precisely what Metheny meant when he wrote it. Recommended
