RUFUS REID QUINTET: LIVE AT THE KENNEDY CENTER
Rufus Reid
Rufus Reid has been best known throughout his career as a very supportive bassist who consistently inspires other musicians, in addition to being an important educator. In recent times, he has been working more as a bandleader, and he remains as inspiring as ever. This set includes both a CD and a DVD and features Reid's current quintet, including the young up-and-coming trumpeter Freddie Hendrix (who hints at both Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw), a pair of occasional bandleaders (pianist Sumi Tonooka and tenor saxophonist Rich Perry), and drummer Tim Horner. The CD has six of Reid's harmonically rich, moody, and slightly melancholy originals plus a selection apiece from Harold Land, Billy Childs, and Duke Ellington, the latter an unaccompanied solo feature for Reid on "Sophisticated Lady." The most stirring performances are the somewhat jubilant "When She Smiles Upon Your Face," "Forever on My Mind," and "The Meddler." The DVD has the exact same performances plus Reid's "The Peaceful Flame" and an interesting 39-minute interview in which he relates highlights from his life story, talks about the Kennedy Center concert, and plays an unaccompanied solo on "The Meddler."

What Are NTSC and PAL?What are NTSC and PAL?
- NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan. It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution on your television.
- PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution on your television.
What DVD standard does my country use?
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC. Most other areas of the world use PAL. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL.
What Does This Mean?
What this means is that if you live in a country that uses NTSC, only this format will be compatible with your player. If you live in a country that uses PAL, most likely only this format will work for you. However, there are many players that will play both formats. The best bet is to check the manual for your DVD player before making a purchase.
What Is the DVD Region System?
DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region or indicated as 'all region.' On the back cover of many DVD packages, you will a find a region number (0 thru 6) placed inside an image of the Earth. This refers to which region the DVD is encoded for.
The geographical regions are as follows:
- REGION 0: ALL AREAS OF THE WORLD
- REGION 1: USA AND CANADA
- REGION 2: JAPAN, EUROPE, SOUTH AFRICA, AND MIDDLE EAST
- REGION 3: SOUTH KOREAN, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, AND SOUTH EAST ASIA
- REGION 4: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, AND SOUTH AMERICA
- REGION 5: EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, INDIA, AND AFRICA
- REGION 6: CHINA
The way this works is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player. In addition, DVD players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1 DVDs. All region (region 0) DVDs may be played anywhere in the world.
The region system was designed to protect copyright and film distribution rights in the sense that movie studios can dictate who can watch what and when.
Please note that there are code free or Universal DVD players on the market that will play any disc from anywhere. Most Home DVD players are subject to region code restrictions, but most computer DVD players will play any DVD.
