TRACCE MEDITERRANEE

The musical content is superb, good selection of the catalogue of this supergroup. Rodolfo Maltese (R.I.P.) is a gentleman and apart from a good performer, not only on guitars but also on horn, he tells us the origin and trivia about several of the tracks. Several guests present good contributions to some tracks. Glad to see the contribution of Di Giacomo (R.I.P.), with some funny conversation, but sad at the same time because his tragic death 4 years ago. My main complaint is for the filming crew: 80% of the time they focus on the wrong musician; for example we have a guitar solo and the camera is focused on the percussionist doing virtually nothing! The most overlooked guy by the cameraman is bagpipe and flute player. I confess this was a frustrating experience. Perhaps because this BTF is offering this DVD for a truly cheap price at the moment! Anyway I do recommend this historic document. In general ****1/2 stars because the filming, a ****1/2 to ***** stars for performance.
