[@pearlrumdrum]

Are you out of your mind, this whole cast is all-stars.

[@allanyamaha]

awesome!

[@seerskater]

holy shit this is incredible

[@acuvox]

The audio sounds a lot like being there - I heard this tour in Carnegie Hall. Orchestral halls are not optimal for jazz, but these pros adapt, treating it like a call and response. Dave Holland plays with the echo at 9:40. It's all about being in the moment absolutely. For these guys, the moment has a tremendous amount of history, too. I saw Dave with Stan Getz in 1970, around the time he played with Herbie & Wayne in Miles' band.

[@tiluriso]

Sounds like the audio was taped from the audience - it's got real hall reverb, makes it all very swampy. But his opening piece 'Sonrisa' is something else, I'd never seen Dave playing w/ a bow before.

[@MatSmithLondon]

My heart sank when the audio started on this 31 minute video... :(

[@RonCarterBassist]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@BobsTunes2]

Very modern!

[@MatSmithLondon]

No, it's not so much the acoustic that is bad about this video. It's the excessive level of digital audio compression in conversion. It has a very specific sound which manifests itself mostly in the ride cymbal sounding arse. The acoustic itself is lovely - really big sound.

[@acuvox]

So nice to hear that. Nicer still if you would care to share a source for that "lovely, really big sound".

[@ongtengkee9225]

I can't believe hancock and shorter look so young

[@MatSmithLondon]

A 'source' for the really big sound? I don't understand what you mean. I was just commenting on the acoustic of the space in this recording...

[@paxwallacejazz]

4:19 Herbie's signature 2hand lick

[@scranchdip]

so right, Blade is totally the modern Elvin Jones. good call

[@josephjohnherbert]

I'm not doubting Shorter's stardom, it's just he doesn't seem to be jelling as well as the rest

[@ginguenga]

wowowowowowowowow

[@Konatashock]

+ lionel loueke on guitar (footprints), right?

[@DavidHoareLOL]

anyone have any idea how much a ticket to this cost? obviously worth it but it can't of been cheap

[@samsun216]

Amazing as always. But why there's so much reverb on everything?

[@Voteformiles10]

Awesome music! But, audio quality is terrible. Any chance of getting it uploaded with better quality?

[@thomashood252003]

Brian Blade

[@MerkaBot23]

Just a lite touch

[@autodidactusplaysjrpgs7614]

All in glorious 240p

[@Tophusification]

Uh, 'cause it's live.

[@SokratisVotskos]

When he said-''we're gonna play Wayne Shorter's..i unisonized with him-FOOTPRINTS!Of course.:-) Check my channel for some jazz stuff.

[@scranchdip]

drummers: 5:25!!

[@josephjohnherbert]

Wayne just ain't on the same level as the trio behind him, such a shame

[@WigridJE]

Possibly he is heavily influenced by both... I mean, who isn't? ;)

[@rampel32]

8-)

[@conservaslayer]

These "all star" things never really work, and this is no exception. There is no substitute for a regular band.

[@WigridJE]

You can't be fucking serious... Blade has to be the modern Elvin Jones. Besides that you can't rank those guys anymore on that level imho.

[@wallaceroneyjr]

I love Dave and Blade but they just don't seem to be on the same level as Herbie and Wayne to me...

[@rhumph223]

Too bad about the sound. This band is fantastic.

[@maracuja55]

the sound is awfull, what a pity !
