This release pairs audio and video from 2004 live performances by a star-studded quartet featuring Miles Davis alumni Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Dave Holland, joined by Brian Blade. It captures two concerts held in Europe just two days apart: the CD features a radio broadcast sourced from a soundboard recording, while the DVD presents a professional-shot television broadcast. Both offer high-quality sound and visuals suitable even for newcomers; notably, the video footage has undergone image correction and resizing, resulting in superior quality compared to other versions currently in circulation. With no electric instruments used, this title is highly recommended for fans of authentic jazz.
