 Quincy The Great !!
This is history. For people whom love Jazz, this is a must have. Good sound, good music, good arrangements, good interpreters, so so video, but how much can you ask. This is really great, thanks Quincy for your fantastic contribution during all these years.

 Great Tribute to Q

 Great personalities inspire
If I had been aware that it was a university-band performing with Q at this concert I had probably not purchased it.
Luckily I did not know and a Q-fan as I am I was not disappointed. The "kids" shine when directed by Q. A blunder here and there does not spoil the overall enthusiasm. It must have been the concert of that year. Q and the soloists are in great shape and I keep coming back to the very last song: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL. And please do.
