"Great value, great production and a fine array of talent makes this "tribute" DVD a must buy for Q afficionados
Worth the price alone for the superb rendition of "Walking In Space" feat. Patti Austin (surely one of THE most underrated singers?) and the enigmatic "Toots" Thielemans on a fab rendition of "Grace Notes"
The in-house band features Greg Phillinganes, A. Ray Fuller, Nathan East, Steve Ferrone & Luis Conte; also featured is the Northern Illinois University Jazz Band - sterling work
Highly recommended"
Great personalities inspire

"If I had been aware that it was a university-band performing with Q at this concert I had probably not purchased it.
Luckily I did not know and a Q-fan as I am I was not disappointed. The "kids" shine when directed by Q. A blunder here and there does not spoil the overall enthusiasm. It must have been the concert of that year. Q and the soloists are in great shape and I keep coming back to the very last song: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL. And please do.

Quincy The Great !!

"This is history. For people whom love Jazz, this is a must have. Good sound, good music, good arrangements, good interpreters, so so video, but how much can you ask. This is really great, thanks Quincy for your fantastic contribution during all these years.
An admire of yours from Costa Rica. Gerardo Ortuno."
Great Tribute to Q
