"I am very happy as I listen to this concert CD… It is as thoughtful, elegant, and classy as the Wilson Brothers themselves… This is music to love and cherish…Listen to a lot of today's music and than listen to this disc again. It's wonderfully unique, and in a strange way, quite relevant to indie music fans. It is certainly adult alternative heaven."

MANDRILL LIVE AT MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL, includes a 90-minute concert recorded at the prestigious Stravinsky Hall in Switzerland. It is the very first "live" presentation of the legendary Funk/R&B/Latin/Jazz/Rock band and features a compendium of MANDRILL'S greatest hits in a one-time-only performance. Produced by Montreux Jazz Festival founder/president Claude Nobs, the DVD captures the raw magic for which MANDRILL is known with 10 electrifying tracks, unmatched in power and versatility, including such classic hits as "Fencewalk," "Mango Meat," "House of Wood," "Peace and Love" and others.
The 2-1/2 hour DVD includes behind-the-scenes footage, a special interview with the founding members, the Wilson brothers, Lou, Ric and Carlos, radio station visit, concert footage "live" from Philadelphia featuring "Ape is High," "Git It All," etc., photo gallery and bonus musical surprises on what is certain to become a collector's item. The group also highlights the plight of its namesake, the mandrill (West African baboon), which has been classified as an endangered species.
MANDRILL'S musical repertoire of more than 16 recordings spans over 25 years of non-stop hits. The music of MANDRILL has universal appeal and transcends all musical genres. You can hear their signature sound on Kanye West’s “Two Words” with Mos Def from Kanye’s Grammy Award-winning College Dropout album as well as on Brandy’s single “Talk About Our Love” featuring and produced by Kanye West from her Grammy-nominated Afrodisiac album. The recent and ongoing sampling of MANDRILL'S tracks by Shawty Lo “Dey Know”, KRS One “For Example,” Black Eyed Peas “Weekends,” Floetry “Have Faith,” Wyclef Jean “You Say Keep It Gangsta,” Tweet and Missy Elliot “We Don’t Need No Water,” Kindred “If I,” and Nas “U Gotta Love It" is a testament to MANDRILL'S musical brilliance and staying power.
