The Abercrombie/Erskine/Mintzer/Patitucci Band (a/k/a The Hudson Project) is comprised of four of the most acclaimed musicians in contemporary music, each of whom has led his own band, and received great critical acclaim both as a composer and a player.
On this DVD, the band performs a set of eight brilliant compositions—two by each member of the group—which range in style from the spiritual ballad feel of “The Well” by John Patitucci, to the second-line funk of “Cats and Kittens” by Peter Erskine, and from the country-inflected swing of “That's For Sure” by John Abercrombie, to the strutting groove of “Modern Day Tuba” by Bob Mintzer.
Interspersed between these phenomenal performances, each member of the group steps forward to discuss his own approach to playing his instrument and to playing in an ensemble.
Approx. Running Time: 105 Minutes. ENCODED FOR ALL REGIONS-NTSC. Playable on any DVD player as well as any computer with a DVD ROM or DVD RAM drive.
