Despite being a compact, one-hour performance, NSJ 2015 unfolds a rich, vibrant D’Angelo world, with the best professional shots, including the best angles. Now available in HD 1080P Blu-ray quality! Jesse Johnson’s guitar, seemingly over-the-top, seems to be in top form, as does D’Angelo himself, both on guitar and piano. The thrilling performance of “Spanish Joint” is particularly thrilling! The new songs flow smoothly, and the audience sings and dances along, knowing they’ve heard them. The Brown Sugar jam delivers a masterful performance, uncompromising and sprinkled with the essence of P-Funk. Pino Palladino’s bass solo on “Sugah Daddy” is unobtrusive, allowing you to listen quietly. The horn passages on James Brown’s “Ain’t It Funky Now”—stop and repeat multiple times—are a must-see for D’Angelo, who always captivates audiences.
