Got mine yesterday at a resale shop for 10 bucks. It's about an hour long, great trumpet by Baker but the 2 vocals he tries show the wear the years took on his voice. The Van Morrison rendition of Send in the Clowns is worth the price of the dvd by itself. I hope we get a dvd concert by The Man before too long. 2 vocals by Elvis Costello. 4:3 OK video. Sound is 2.0 or 5.1. The 5.1 doesn't do much with the back speakers but the sound is passable. A few minutes of interview with Baker are valuable to fans. Overall,this is a nice document to a great jazz trumpeter and vocalist.
