Why?

[@cycleoflife565]

My dad was a jazz aficionado and he loved Sade.

[@evanjazzista]

I was at this gig, in fact I even made it to the afternoon soundcheck before the actual concert, I wanted to make sure I got a front row seat! However, now I realize the young and not-enough-aware version of me didn't properly understand this miracle here. Probably felt the vibe, yes, but today I am _listening_ at last! Thanks for posting!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Memorable playing, that's for sure. But from these guys, we've come to expect this level of musicianship.

When masters play, there are no cracks in the walls- no idleness or wasted moments - a wave of music that pleases all the senses .

There is something about Herbies’ approach that really sets him apart from all other players, the constant innovation, playing outside keys , those lush harmonics…and that’s just from me , a drummer, then there’s Scofield, every bands’ dream guitarist, and Jack , such musicality….

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Truly an all-star group.

Also a supergroup of Paul McCarthy and Tony Williams. Which was thrown around as an idea but apparently Miles wanted too much money. This was in 1969.

Sade is a whole lane of music that doesn’t really have a category. It’s just good music.

That's all anything is. Let's forget the labels. It's either good or bad. Sometimes great. But it's always totally subjective. What one person thinks is genius, another might be boring.

@@JazzVideoGuy some categories help me define an artist if I’d never heard their music before. I understand what ur saying but her music really does have so many great influences in it that it’s difficult 2 define.

The guy has such an amazing contribution, not only to the jazz genre, but really to listening ears all over the world regardless of styles. My personal favorite of Herbie are the recordings he did w/ the late Jaco Pastorius (Speak like a Child) etc. Also, Scofield.. WOW! time won’t allow me to go there,but when you mix Sco w/ Dennis Chambers.. OMG! Ok jazz vid. Guy.. love what ya do👍👍👍 Ps.. Michael Brecker! Absolutely SUPERB! (We all miss him)

[@Guppusmaximus]

Herbie is one of the all time Jazz greats. However, I'm shocked that he didn't mention Les Paul in regards to the formation of R'N'R. Sure, Hendrix was an innovator but Mr. Paul INVENTED the instrument he chose to make that statement with and multitrack recording which was used to record, arguably, Hendrix's biggest hit 'Purple Haze'. I'm always astounded at how many amazing musicians fail to recognize that man's invaluable contributions to music including his albums.
