Details: Amazon.ca A CD version of this DVD also exists under the same title. The images and music were recorded, as planned, on September 11, 2001, at Sting’s home in Italy, after he learned what had happened in New York. This intimate concert for a fortunate few, in front of an audience limited to 200 hand-picked guests (friends, journalists, etc.), was not canceled despite the sadness. The atmosphere that emerges from it is as if imbued with contemplation and a particular sense of tranquility. Touched by grace, the former leader of The Police revisits his repertoire with a jazzy flair, accompanied, among others, by the excellent Jason Rebello, Chris McBride, and Manu Katché. All the standards are there ("Roxanne", "All This Time"), with some taking on a singular dimension, such as "Englishman In New York" or "(If You Love Someone) Set Them Free". Notably, an unreleased track composed by jazz pianist Kenny Kirkland ("Dienda") is included in the repertoire. --Hervé Comte
