I am a percussionist and i am 70 years old . This set is one of the best performances i have ever witnessed . Over and above the great musicians , the sound is great , the audience is just as in love with the musicians as they are with the audience . The energy in the venue is off the chart . One of KZbin's best jazz videos .

[@milton112]

This is four masters in their youth at the top of their game. As a life long jazz fan, it just doesn’t get any better than this. I wish I could pay them back for what they contributed to my life, but all I can do is say thank you.

[@claussaunte2303]

Well Herbie and Wayne are hardly in their youth, Wayne is over 50 and Herbie is in his 40 ties

[@blackfly56]

OK I showed my age, lol. But this is an older video so they seem young to me.

I concur. I called my daughter over and said each one of these musicians is a living legend and you need to know their names. Oh my gosh...the amount of music they've contributed to the world 🌎! Astounding!

[@ulyssesgarner328]

You an pay them back by directing as many people as you can into the good graces and to the storied achievements of these messengers of truth and purity of emotions. We are all searching for our true identity and they can at times provide us a glimpse of that core%

Yes, there were so many great performances in Japan, but also in Europe, specially France. Here in the US, where jazz was born, we've been lucky, too, but for several decades many of the greatest performances were not here. Just grateful to have things like this documented for all of us to enjoy for a long, long time.

Yep, this is insanely good and inspired, a perfect chunk of live playing at its finest. Great venue, wonderful audience - and these four great jazz cats playing off each other. I've watched this clip dozens of times since I first found it around eight years ago, and have been a big fan of Stanley Clarke since the age of ten or so. :) It doesn't get any better than this, guys... :) Only down note is that they didn't get to play a full gig by themselves, or even better record a live album - they were allotted the opening slot of this multi-act gig in Japan in 1991 and knew they had just 15-20 minutes to play, so they decided to do just one cut and with flying colours. :)
