great musicians; boring music - 1.5 stars - do not buy

This DVD may be good to listen to as a movie soundtrack or to go to sleep by, but watching it is kind of boring. The musicians are great - the music gets a little boring. You can tell the people are trying to get off - nursing their glasses of water - and trying to act enthusiastic. The camera keeps trying to catch some audience interplay and enthusiasm but there is almost none. Music like this is sophisticated and beautiful - but let's be honest - it does not get people off. The most enthusiastic applause came when the set was over.
That is the problem with jazz these days - people are told to hush and contemplate the musical genius of the performers - and then they have to sit silently and watch carefully. This is not conducive to excitement. If we keep presenting jazz in this Smithsonian artifact environment we will keep it way down on the list of preferred music. You may as well be giving a speech on stem cell research. Interesting but boring.
I love jazz but I do not think I will put this beautifully produced and recorded DVD on again. It is too boring. Herbie Hancock, Carter, and Cobham in Switzerland is almost as boring. You can tell the emperor has no clothes - pretend if you want - but you can not fool all the people. |
