I have both the Montreal and Paris DVD's they both have their own character and personality. The Brazil DVD adds a mature musicianship that puts Diana and her group in a new category which will carry her into the future. Guitar players are astonished by Anthony Wilson's genius and the best jazz guitarist of today, Jeff Hamilton who is internationally known as the greatest brush drummer shows that on this DVD. And, of course, Mr. Clayton who is one of the greatest composers as well as bass players. No, this DVD is more than a performance. It is a tribute to great jazz players. Maybe the Oscar Peterson Munich concert equals it in importance... Buy this and you will be playing it 10 years from now www.amazon.com
 

Simply a must if you are a fan of Jazz vocals; amazing documentary of a great Jazz Singer.

 

Seven DVD'S available in this 3rd series...this is one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Sinatra Collection, October 26, 2010

The collection arrived today, October 26th, and just skimming through the DVDs is a thrill. Firstly, the packaging is consistently stunning; goodbye to the easy-to-smash cardboard/plastic packaging when some of these DVDs were released in the 1990s. Oh, and goodbye to those hyper-expensive out-of-print DVDs! Those 50 minute-long DVDs have been replaced by discs that average 2 hours each (The bonus disc is roughly two and a half hours long). The menus are very stylish and the booklet that accompanies the collection is well done. Someone got the message and the collection is well laid out and impeccably presented. The image quality is not Hi-Def, of course, and there's only so much that can be done to spruce up video tape. Still, the colours are vivid........

The other DVDs are great, too. Take your pick as to which YOU want to call his greatest. At $55.99 for 14 hours of footage covering 30 years of his life, this is a brilliant Sinatra release. You have hours of him in those television productions he never completely warmed up to as well as hours and hours of him absolutely live - the way he liked it.
