"The Bass Lesson and interview by Oteil on the DVD is priceless and a must have for any aspiring bass guitarist.

This is very creative, non-derivative jazz-rock fusion. True fusion, not R&B/Brazilian inspired smooth happy jazz. Although Oteil's playing is very much influenced by drummers and the R&B/funk influence is there too, the music is another branch on the tree started by Miles and branched into Tony Williams Lifetime, Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

A lot of people tout Victor Wooten, but Oteil is right there with Victor, Marcus Miller, Alphonso Johnson and whoever else you can think of.

I read one review here and if you're looking for Allman Bros rock, buy an Allman Bros cd and have a nice day."

If your a fan of Oteil Burbridge this is a must have!

"I kind of stumbled on to this CD/DVD set, not knowing what to expect. If you liked hearing Oteil in "Bass Day 98" I think you'll enjoy it. The DVD also has a 40 min. Bass Lesson ( more of a question and anwser series)and a commentary with him and musicians involved on this prodject. If you have a DVD rom on your computer you can print the music also. The CD is great! The only way I can describe it is "Soulfull".

This CD/DVD set offers alot more, and is worth checking out."
