The Captain & Tennille - Ultimate Collection (3 DVD Set) (1976) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Beautifully packaged 3 DVD set of the 76-77 series "The Captain and Tennille" is a joy to behold. The show has a magical quality about it an though somewhat dated in spots, still remains as entertaining today as it was back then. What a collection of guest stars: John Travolta, Redd Foxx, Tony Randall, Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, "Charlie's Angels"(Kate, Farrah, and Jaclyn), The "Happy Days" cast, Penny Marshall, Leonard Nemoy, Muhammad Ali, and many, many more. Remember "The Bionic Watermelon"?, The endless hat jokes?, the great music? If you have a fondness for the seventies, or if you want to enrich the lives of your children, pick this set up, out the discs in and enjoy. We need this kind of entertainment in our lives today. Thank You R2 entertainment, keep the good times coming-you've made my whole DVD collection a bit brighter.

Breakthrough to Improv:The Secrets of Improvisation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dave Frank uses the blues medium in this DVD to illustrate the building blocks of creative improv. The range of concepts covered is very wide, but explained with easy to understand examples. I am studying jazz piano with Dave, and the concepts covered in this DVD are recurring themes even in jazz improv.
The structure is very organized. It starts off with easy to grasp concepts like quarter note blues scales, working up to mixtures of triples and swing eights, you get the idea. Each lesson has an exercise that you can practice, but they are quite concise. Which is a little deceiving because each of the concepts are actually quite significant, and takes a lot of practice to understand. So the exercises are there just to illustrate the concept.
Verdict: This DVD will not automatically make you a genius improviser. But it will teach you the concepts that you can piece together to play articulate, clear solos that communicate distinct and complete concepts. The material also doesn't get unnecessarily detailed or technical, so it may be a good way for non musicians to understand how this stuff works.
