Definitive concert DVD from this incredible GRAMMY-winning R&B singer! Taped in Los Angeles in late 2004, Intimate: Greatest Hits Live captures Howard Hewett?s stunning vocals on the most popular songs from his time i... more »n Shalamar and his successful solo career. Bonus material includes a rare acoustic performance of "Heaven Sent You" with Stanley Clarke and George Duke, and a conversation between Hewett and James Ingram in which they reminisce about their longtime friendship and musical collaboration. Program Listing:
"Taped in front of a small studio audience in LA and backed by a competent band (with Garry Goin on guitar who has released a smooth jazz CD) Howard Hewett delivers a great show. His singing is out of this world, soulful and inspired, offering lots of romantic love songs and meaningful lyrics. The closing inspirational song "Say Amen" gave me goosebumps! The widescreen video is edited nicely giving the music and performance ample room to breathe and offers a good 5.1 mix. A nice touch is the bonus material featuring an acoustic studio session with George Duke and Stanley Clarke and a friendly chat with old fellow James Ingram. This DVD is a great package and very recommended!"
Finally a REAL Live-DVD

"Yes!!! This is exactly what Howard needed to deliver, after his really disappointing FAKE Journey-Live DVD. This one is a real Live DVD and it perfectly shows his vocal scills. I will gladly accept this DVD as an apology for the wasted money I spent for the "Journey Live" DVD. Go on like this Howard !!!"
A MUST FOR ALL FANS!

"This is what the fans have been waiting for! This live concert featuring great R&B hits from the Shalamar days...through his solo career is a definite must-buy! Howard Hewett loves what he does and it shows through this DVD and his interaction with the audience...making them feel "intimate" with him. He delivers like no other, his vocals are exceptional, his range outstanding...what more can I say but...buy this DVD!! It is well worth it...fans who may not have seen his show in a while (or never have) will fall in love all over again with his music!! If you love this, then be on the lookout for the audio CD version being released early May 2005!"

"I purchased this DVD and could not wait to watch it. I was not
disappointed. Howard's voice is amazing and the setup of the DVD is excellent. He is so entertaining when he is not singing.
I felt as if I was there at the concert up close and personal.
In my opinion, Howard's voice is like fine wine it just gets better with time. A fan forever - can't wait for your return to New Orleans"
Intimate- A must purchase

"If for no other reason but the studio track "Heaven Sent You, this is a must purchase for Howard fans. The studio track features George Duke and Stanley Clarke in a wonderful studio setting performing acoustically. The concert will leave the Howard Hewett fan wanting to see him in person. A five star performance from a hugely talented artist"
