Here we have a unique video recording catching the Woody Shaw Quintet in action. For this concert Woody showcases a dynamic group especially including Carter Jefferson on saxophones, pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs, bassist Stafford James and drummer Victor Lewis. The group sets about to enthrall the audience with a number of standards and contemporary tunes. Thanks to the Iowa Public Broadcasting Network this concert was preserved on DVD. For its time the picture quality is reasonable, but the real captivation is the music!!!
