Music A+ but the DVD format a bit lacking

"the music included in these disks are just top notch. however, having seen the programs on PBS, i regret that the producer did not include the entire program (inclusive of interviews with artists) on an extensive DVD/CD compilation. this DVD/CD is at best a tip of the iceberg compared with what is shown on PBS.
caution. for jazz fan who is also into HDTV, the HD DVD is a problem. the disk box states as 16X9 HD but the image does not fill up a typical 16x9 HDTV screen like the original boardcast. rather the DVD produces the image in letter box format. this is disappointing/. so, if you expect to see a true DVD in HD format filling up your 16x9 HDTV screen, the DVD disk will not meet your needs. however, if this is the least of your concern, this is the DVD/CD set you must own.
note to producer. please release the ENTIRE program in box DVD/CD set and fix the 16x9 dvd format. i will love to own this. thanks."
