Monterey Jazz Festival: 40 Legendary Years | Year: 1986 Classification: Music Video - Jazz Directed: - William Harper (II) Please let me rate this ZERO! Just want to add my two bits as a warning to anyone who may not have got the point from the other reviewers (unlikely). Thia can only have been some kind of ego trip for Clint - it doesn't score as either a jazz performance compilation or as a documentary of the festival. What hurts - heartbreakingly, gutbustingly hurts - is that there ARE hours of performance footage extant from Monterey (and, no, I don't mean 2 minutes of Cannonball in "Play Misty For Me"). Surely someone could buy the rights to this stuff and make a REAL Monterey DVD? TOTAL JIVE (...) NO STARS!!This review will be totally redundant as it's all been said but I'm actually enjoying joining in trashing this bogus pomp more than watching it! Sure wish I had read just a couple of these reviews (the first all negative reviews I've seen on a topic I'm interested in)before I picked this turkey up. A lot of very uninteresting, boring, behind the scenes stuff that drags on forever! It says "vintage performances" HA! A few seconds of footage with elevator "jazz" instead of what you're glimpsing. It also says "And What about Ella, Louis, Dizzy, Sarah, Dave, Monk, Clark Terry even Lady Day?" THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW CLINT. Forget this and get Bert Stern's Excellent "Jazz On A Summer's Day". I wish it were possible to give this DVD 0 stars I echo everyone else's sentiments about this DVD. It's not<BR>for Jazz fans. I don't know who the intended audience is. But if<BR>you're expecting to see some complete performances from this legendary festival, look elsewhere. If you want informative commentary about the music, look elsewhere.
