Probably the best modern jazz song interpretation in the last 30 years......just devastating........a monumental loss.....RIP Chick.......

[@carlosebert6702]

Indeed!!!

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

Indeed! However, we always have Spain.

Was one of my favourite things to play. Every time we did it. it was different. Great song for jammin...

[@bradforddavis6497]

Like a kid rips open a Christmas present wrapped in Scarbo, pulls out a Green Dolphin Street fire engine, takes it down the street 80 mph, wakes up the entire neighborhood, and laughs. So great. RIP Mr Corea.

thanks! we've all been waiting here for years for someone to tell us what jazz was about

[@willymus2734]

[@pedroberoes49]

Rest in peace Chick. I have been watching this concert compulsively the last few days and just heard that he passed. Rest in peace to a true creative giant.

[@dallastoto3189]

i did not know as well. OMG sad too learn of this

[@daviddicara991]

Its a shame we are mortal. If one man deserved immortality, if only because of the seemingly bottomless well of his creativity, it was Chick. For me he stands right alongside the other giants on the musical mount rushmore. Miles, Monk, Bird, Mozart....Prince....whoever you have on yours, Chick is there as well. Its a shame no one lives forever, but Chick will have musical immortality. We will still be listening to this 1000 years from now. imo

This trio is an example of perfection , a peak unlikely ever to be repeated. They do not play and record as they did , That is why the magic and mystery is alive.

Better than the Keith Jarrett trio?

[@OS-yg9fr]

@@retrogamerdave362 yes better than keith jarret trio (piano/bass/drums/moans)

[@rse8898]

@Ian Roberts Totally agree. This is so straightforward and yet so independently creative along the line in so many details. It's hard to believe it happened

[@johnsluggett1822]

Better than Jarrett? Very different from Jarrett. This is aggressive and it its way, amazing. But still heavy on the showboating. Which comes down to a matter of taste, the musicians', not the listener's. While I enjoyed it, I won't be back soon. Jarrett has technique and is secure in his prowess. I don't need chops rammed down my throat. Maybe they could relax a bit.

[@runningmusicnerd8267]

Chick pretty much just gives the middle finger to the melody here, and does whatever he wants, and he does it so well, you wouldn't even think it's green dolphin street, but just another great song

[@oldboy9267]

it's all about the morphology of the changes. I heard the melody in my mind all the way through. magick.

[@bozotheclown935]

Chick not only was a brilliant soloist, when it came time for the bassist to solo chick did not abandon him. So many bassists [like myself] got abandoned when soloing [the pianist and drummer] would just stop. I had to clear up that little one by saying, I will stop playing when you solo and on more than one occasion had to do it to cure that habit. Chick always keeps the thing flowing... If only I could have been bassist in a band with Dave W. Great drummer... The guys I was always paired to made for poor metronomes.

[@waynematthews8165]

Oh my gosh, someone I relate to! Why do pianists think it's great to just stop playing during a bass solo, it's one of the most infuriating things...next to a pianist who thinks they need to play the bass line double octave...

[@karlrovey]

It's one thing to drop a rhythm instrument for a chorus or two to change the texture, but don't completely abandon the soloist.

[@bozotheclown935]

@@karlrovey The pianists all think they are Bill Evans. Having been in a few trio's I was never treated to that kinda piano talent. No, I was not LeFaro or even Tooch... No, but even they needed a marker or two. Brotherly love from Australia...

[@sorendippel]

Oh my God!!! This is fantastic.

[@musictrainingonline]

Mind-blowing blowing over Green Dolphin Street changes. Chick must have listened to a lot of McCoy Tyner the night before. Chick doesn't like to play the melody much. But that's ok, because the majority of his listeners are pro musicians or at least well educated listeners. Incredible music, and fantastic musicians. Bravo!

What a legend and a legacy he has left! RIP Chic. He was always on another ethereal plane of inspiration,interpretation and now playing on an even higher plane of existence. Between him and many others that have graduated from this earthly tabernacle, they have taught me that music is infinite, and that their style is one of a kind, like your fingerprints and personality. There will never be another Chic Corea, Oscar Peterson, Count Basie,and many others who made a difference in the music world. The right people in the right place at the right time. They will all be missed....

[@Guilhermeabcd]

His bass sounds like an electric bass, sounds like it was played by a regular bass guitar, how does he do that? Is it a pedal or something?

[@shastafay4992]

It's the way he amplifies his double bass... It sounds like a piezo pickup (Brands like David Gage, Fishman...). During the eighties and the nineties that was very used !

[@egyptianminor]

JP has not only chops, great time feel but also great tone and intonation, it's largely in the fingers.

[@butterdrool9476]

@@egyptianminor bro it’s the piezo Source: have piezo

[@dyrik]

It's all in piezo pickups and poor amplification. Pickups physically aren't able to capture the true sound of an upright bass, mostly just the sound of the strings. An upright is definitely not supposed to sound like a fretless electric bass, but most upright bass pickups have that sound and the way you eq an amp can make it better or worse. Patituccis tone is amazing when he's not going through a system like this though
