And DSR Media never sent me a replacement, as they promised. Very disappointed with them, and Amazon, shipping defective units.

I saw this disc used twice for demonstration purposes at the CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) EXPO in Denver this year. Great artists, sound and video. Yes, there are people out there that can play in tune and sing on pitch. With all the trash out there it's nice to find this level of soul, intellect and professionalism.

If you have a Blu-ray player and enjoy Jazz this is a must have. Each performance is great. The styles of Jazz vary from performer to performer. I like a variety of music so this was not a problem for me. It shouldn't for most either, since, after all, the performers are "Jazz Legends". The most benefit from this disc will be to those who have their Blu-ray hooked up to an audio system and especially if you can take advantage of the Dolby Tru-HD sound track here. There is also a two channel uncompressed sound track. I haven't been one to embrace multi-channel music but this disc is an excellent example of how surround sound music can be done right and with Tru-HD listening becomes quite an experience. The mix is done as if you are in the audience. The instruments are in front of you with just enough to surround speakers to give ambience to the music. The video, of course, being in high definition, is stunning as well. Legends of Jazz on Blu-ray is a real audio video treat and the price is no more than a typical CD. Looking forward to hopefully seeing more of this series come to Blu.
