"Taking DVD To The Next Level"
Every time The Rolling Stones go out on tour, I say I'm going to take the chance to see them, and yet for some reason I never do.
Yet finally I got a pretty good taste of what I missed with a four-DVD set called "Four Flicks" that presents three full-length concerts from the last leg of the group's 2002-2003 tour and a documentary on the tour itself. It was pretty fun to watch, made all the more interesting by some fascinating features that have be used to enhance the DVD by the company that produced it, MX Entertainment.

"For Hancock, the Future Is Surround"
MARIN COUNTY, CA — When composer, keymaster and jazz legend Herbie Hancock thought up his latest release,
figuring in audio technology and talent, he not only wanted to capture his live concert, but sonically
create an "audio experience" for listeners. Hancock's surround mixer Dave Hampton was already creating
an audio experience in the live concert forum. In fact, Hancock's Future 2 Future tour was mixed live
in 4.0 surround by the engineer, with some live DJ panning so that audiences, whether they knew it or not,
were sitting (or standing) in a surround atmosphere during the show.

"Herbie Hancock goes boldly back to Future"
HOLLYWOOD, CA — Here's some great news: Herbie Hancock, who turns a youthful 62 next month,
is on the move again, embracing technology and creating some beautiful new music with it.
His career has been a peripatetic zigzag — he's gone out to the electronic fringe, reverted
to his acoustic past and taken earthy shots at the charts. Some of these directions were
revisited repeatedly, others never pursued again. But this "Future 2 Future" band is easily
his most interesting since his short-lived 1986 "Jazz Africa" venture — and fortunately,
its performance at the Knitting Factory Tuesday is being preserved for release on DVD.
