 Jazz July 18, 2008
Dizzy showed his magical foresight, grouping upcoming Latin Jazz players, now regarded the best in Latin Jazz. The versality of solos by Paquito D'Rivera, Giovanny Hidalgo and Arturo Sandoval makes this concert one of my most treasured Jazz collections.
 The editing is the problem, not the music April 5, 2008

Most people coming to this will be aware that Dizzy was nearing the end of his life and sounding it - his tone and his flow of ideas are a pale shadow of their former self. Fortunately he's not the focus of attention here, a master of ceremonies rather than the dominant soloist of his 1940s big band recordings.
Slide Hampton's arrangements are basic, functioning a pleasant framework for a terrific set of solos - most of the highlights come from the unrelated Rivieras, James Moody and Steve Turre and (of course) Sandoval, then at the height of his virtuosity and showmanship. Moody also sings King Pleasure's version of his `Moody's Mood For Love'. Dizzy's most appealing spots are his duet with Sandoval on `And Then She Stopped' and `Kush' (also notable for James Moody's intro).
Those who remember the vinyl release of the companion album will be relieved to hear that both of Flora Purim's vocals are intact (and, despite a programming error, Esquinas is not abbreviated). But there is a serious problem with this film, still unresolved...
The original TV broadcast from this concert began with a very fine version of Manteca, lasting around 10 minutes. It was omitted from the video - and it's not included here either! All we get is the intro in the opening titles, and the closing guitar/conga break in the closing titles!
Message to all DVD production companies: you should know that if you do not take the time and trouble to restore glaring edits in music films, and at other times generally make every logical effort to utilize the DVD format's storage capacity - you will be regarded as rip-off-merchants, fraudsters. And what's more, wasters of plastic and electricity.

Flora Purim an Afro-Cuban queen? Really? Seems like someone at Amazon editorial is either not really into the music or simply not good at fact-checking. Flora was born in Rio de Janeiro and is best known for Brazilian tinged fusion work.

Great work from all in the band. Incredible percussion. Arturo is at his best in the presence of his hero.
An excellent ensemble April 14, 2003

This concert was clearly a showcase for some superb musicians, notably, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D'Rivera, Airto Moreira, Giovanni Hidalgo, Steve Turre and Dizzy himself, amongst others. The video is sometimes a little confused but the sound is as good as being there and the music itself is classic, with some memorable solos to be heard. Whether you're a fan of Dizzy's or Latin jazz in general, there is much to enjoy.
