 Great music, bad qualityDVD. November 10, 2008
If Arturo Sandoval is going to be there with his trumpet (or timbales or piano)it is a great show, and this is the case,but bad editing and bad quality of DVD.
Incredible concert, video quality bad December 8, 2007
This is definitely a must have dvd if you like latin jazz. Some of the best latin muscians together, you'll definitely enjoy the music quality and skill demonstration.
Wish the video quality was a lot better.
 Miami Beach Latin Jazz February 28, 2006
I will always remember this concert for a few reasons. 1) This was the last Jazz concert that I attended in Miami before being deployed with the U.S.Army overseas as a peace keeper in Eastern Europe. 2) I remember that they made the announcement of Tito Puente critical illness and how the members of the band reacted to it. 3) Debbie was there. 4) I was able to see for the first time Poncho Sanchez(a pupil of Mongo Santamaria)on congas and Pete Escovedo on timbales, I remember Pete from the early 70's when he used to double on timbales with the late Coke Escovedo from the Azteca band, both of these Chicanos are great in their own field. And the Cuban Arturo Sandoval with his outstanding trumpet style playing was great. The remaining members of the assembly were excellent too! This was a great Jazz concert. Miami should have more concerts like this one again. Maybe when I return from my deployment there will be more Jazz concerts in Miami.

This project was conceived as a fund raiser for the Dade County Public Schools. I was the Station Manager at WLRN at the time and took on the project based on my extensive background in music production.
As a small Public Broadcast station, we did not have the technical support, such as tape machines to properly isolate the cameras. Suffient cameras to cover the event, nor the Lighting equipment to really give the show a lush, glitzy feel.
Although we did do some minor editing to cover for some of the technical defficiencies listed above, what you see if basically it. No rehearsals, little editing, just pure rush of emotions and feelings for the music as it was happening!
Nontheless, I think the production turned out terrific, thanks also to many talented people who worked on the project. But really, how can one go wrong with the fantastic musicians our cameras and mics were able to capture for posterity.This was a tribute to them. Enjoy!
