VERY RARE DVD
Spaced Out explore a form of music containing elements from several genres, with progressive rock, metal and jazz being the most dominant styles in their sonic explorations. A central characteristic of their compositions is high class musicianship; all members are technically very proficient and make concentrated efforts to use their technical abilities as much as possible in their tunes. They make sure that each individual member gets the chance to showcase his abilities, as well as combining these individual abilities collectively in highly intricate themes and structures demanding that each individual player has to push himself towards the edge of his abilities to perform his individual instrument's role, and to make sure that the interplay with the others is kept up at all times. There is no set formula to the songs here; rather you'll get a high degree of variation in the sonic patterns explored. Sometimes one instrument will dominate while the other instruments underscore, at other times two instruments will explore slightly or highly different melodies and sounds; and a few times all three instruments will have their individual explorations with varying degrees of harmonizing between them. At times the soundscape will be minimalistic, exploring subtle details, at other times the arrangements will be highly complex and demanding to listen to, with a plethora of notes and melodies in a highly eclectic setting. Although Spaced Out doesn't have a keyboard player anymore, keyboards are still used in their compositions. In a live setting such as this prerecorded samples are used to add this musical element to the performance. This live DVD is an interesting addition to the band's discography. With the level of concentration demanded by the members playing these tunes, there's not much entertainment from the band here besides the music - some lighting and smoke effects are used, but the focus here is the performance.

On July 14th, 2008, a very special event took place at the Stravinsky Auditorium in Montreux, Switzerland. A number of musicians who have had the opportunity to work with Jones during the years gathered to celebrate his 75th birthday. For well over two hours, they sang, played, joked and thanked a living legend. The actual concert is truly impossible to describe with simple words. Even a quick glance at the names of the musicians who took the stage should immediately reveal to you how incredibly influential Jones has been. In fact, one could argue that many of them have been just as influential as Jones – years from now, people will still talk about Chaka Khan, Herbie Hanckok, Al Jarreau, Lee Ritenour, Nathan East, Paulinho Da Costa, James Moody, Toots Thielemans, Patty Austin, Nana Mouskouri, Billy Cobham, Patrice Rushen, Joe Sample, Larry Williams, Greg Phillinganes, Paul Jackson Jr., etc ...
