TAKE a guitar virtuoso (Carlos Santana), add a sax superstar (Wayne Shorter) and bass supremo Alphonso Johnson, stir in some of the finest percussion players around, plus keyboard wizards Patrice Rushen and Chester Thompson.

Put them all together, at the peak of their powers, and place them in front of a knowledgeable and enthusiastic audience at the 32nd Montreux Jazz Festival in 1988, and what have you got?

One of the finest gigs of all time, that's all, captured for posterity on this new-fangled DVD technology.

And, in the course of two glorious hours, there are interviews with Santana, Shorter and festival creator Claude Nobs.
