    Thanks Polkatese! I've bought a couple of your recommendations and neve been dissapointed. BTW Ramsey Lewis is an on air disc jockey on 101.9 in NYC. Check and see if you can get the station webcast. Cool station. Classic, smooth, fusion all kinds of jazz.

    You're welcome, guys. Here is the best price I came across. Mine came from BB, since I was impatient yesterday:

    Thanks for the heads up on Ramsey. He was on PBS station last night (for my local area), He is on every Tuesday night, hosting the Legends of Jazz series. On this CD, I am a big Al Jarreau fan, so the first performance on the CD alone pays off the price of admission!

    Yes, which I think should be the case on every DVD music video. Btw, check out Chick Corea performance on the DVD. It gives me the goose bump to see how his left-hand seems to be completely independent of his right-hand on the piano.

    Picked up from BB today, even though the blue shirted monkey checked his computer and said they didn't have any. Deb spotted one on the shelf.

    Excellent CD!! A rather diverse collection of styles and they all work together on this disc. I haven't had time to watch the DVD yet but am looking forward to it.

    Hats off to Polkatese for a great find...Thanks for the heads up!!
