First, they recorded the CD portion of their live CD/DVD Twenty Five in 2005 (the DVD portion was recorded in Italy). Then, in March 2008, they filmed their live DVD The Paris Concert at The New Morning (a well-known Paris jazz club). It isn't hard to understand why the Yellowjackets think highly of Paris from a jazz standpoint; France has some of the world's most knowledgeable and enthusiastic jazz fans, and given the hellbent-for-improvisation outlook that the Yellowjackets have had since 1990's Greenhouse, it makes perfect sense for them to record in one of the world's more jazz-friendly cities. The Paris Concert finds the Yellowjackets' 2008 lineup (Russell Ferrante on electric keyboards and acoustic piano, Bob Mintzer on tenor sax and EWI, Jimmy Haslip on electric bass, and Marcus Baylor on drums) in fine form during a 98-minute fusion/post-bop set that favors Mintzer-era material from the '90s and 2000s. Mintzer, who joined the Yellowjackets with Greenhouse, has been given much of the credit for the band's movement in a more improvisatory direction--and he really soars on inspired performances of "Dewey," "Healing Waters," "Prayer for Peace," and other songs the Yellowjackets have unveiled since his arrival. Mintzer is as exciting on EWI as he is on tenor, and similarly, Ferrante is as memorable on acoustic piano as he is on electric keyboards. The Paris Concert underscores the fact that while Mintzer's influence hasn't caused the Yellowjackets to give up fusion, lose their appreciation of Weather Report, or abandon electric instruments, it has definitely helped make acoustic instruments and post-bop considerations much more prominent in their work. Fans of Mintzer-era Yellowjackets will find The Paris Concert to be a consistently rewarding document of their March 2008 appearance at The New Morning.  1 - Aha 2 - Capetown 3 - Bop Boy 4 - Prayer for Peace 5 - Cross Current 6 - Dewey 7 - With These Hands 8 - Freedomland 9 - Even Song 10 - Downtown 11 - Healing Waters 12 - Evening News   Code:General Complete name : F:\download\YeJa_TPC\yellowjacket\giacchegiallejfuyytrgds..ldkjhfqpi-lkjf\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB Format : MPEG-PS File size : 1 024 MiB Duration : 16mn 32s Overall bit rate : 8 653 Kbps Writing library : encoded by TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress Version. 4.4.2.238 Video ID : 224 (0xE0) Format : MPEG Video Format version : Version 2 Format profile : Main@Main Format settings, BVOP : Yes Format settings, Matrix : Custom Format settings, GOP : M=3, N=16 Duration : 16mn 32s Bit rate : 4 987 Kbps Maximum bit rate : 5 000 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 29.970 fps Standard : NTSC Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Interlaced Scan order : Top Field First Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.481 Stream size : 590 MiB (58%) Writing library : TMPGEnc XPress 4.4.2.238 Color primaries : SMPTE 170M Transfer characteristics : SMPTE 170M Matrix coefficients : SMPTE 170M Audio #1 ID : 189 (0xBD)-129 (0x81) Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Mode extension : CM (complete main) Muxing mode : DVD-Video Duration : 16mn 32s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 448 Kbps Channel(s) : 6 channels Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 53.0 MiB (5%) Audio #2 ID : 189 (0xBD)-138 (0x8A) Format : DTS Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems Muxing mode : DVD-Video Duration : 16mn 32s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 1 510 Kbps Channel(s) : 6 channels Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 24 bits Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 179 MiB (17%) Audio #3 ID : 189 (0xBD)-160 (0xA0) Format : PCM Format settings, Endianness : Big Format settings, Sign : Signed Muxing mode : DVD-Video Duration : 16mn 32s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 1 536 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Stream size : 182 MiB (18%)
