Home Stretch (Aurex Jazz Fest '80, Japan, Sept. 7, 1980)

[@davidsudak5114]

Henderson’s influence on both Joe Farrell and Mike Brecker quite evident here.

[@oscarenriquedellachabensen5759]

Farrell con el soprano tenía un estilo completamente distinto a Henderson, Lo podemos escuchar con Billy Cobham o en Friends con Chic Corea, también en su propio album Great George.

[@rexmelgoza4703]

Yet Henderson's arrogance was his downfall when someone like michael brecker could actually clearly articulate consistently that style and more by adding coltrane's false fingering style.

[@davidsudak5114]

@ Maybe revisit how cause/effect relationships work (so your comments might make more sense in future).

[@MaxIsBackInTown]

Joe showing why he’s one of the most important tenor plays to ever pick up the instrument.

[@paulvanwormerr]

which Joe?

[@davidsudak5114]

I’m guessing Henderson

[@robwest36]

Both

[@erichuang7524]

8:54 Somehow Freddie Hubbard could just play one screaming note for his turn on a trade four and make it sound good. An absolute legend.

[@raepaul8158]

Wow talk about an all star band ! How I never heard of this concert ??? Absolutely wonderful

[@thebreathalyzer]

Joe Henderson’s opening solo is so great, all the soloists are really. What a line up!

[@mileatonmusic]

Holy smokes, what a lineup!

[@WynellMontgomery]

Wow - never saw Joe and Mike together before not to mention both Freddie and Randy also - much love for Joe Farrell great stuff from all involved!

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

Wynell Montgomery: I second your observation. I adore and admire Joe and Mike as well as Randy and Freddie - seeing them together, in video, for the first time. What purity in musical brotherhood and comradery!

[@alexandergeddes925]

I believe Joe and the Brecker Brothers are on Parliament's Mothership Connection

[@alexandergeddes925]

Joe Farrell that is

[@sitarnut]

How about a Big shout out for Alphonso Johnson hauling the mail.. as tall as he his, aren't we lucky he didn't end on a Top Basketball franchise. He is one bad Mamma Jamma...@@wyndhleodumegwu253

[@bradleybranch4544]

Alphonso Johnson!!!! Phenomenal!!! Wow!!

[@allann.ragsdale635]

Jazz royalty right here. I about got up and left the room when AJ took a bass solo. Too cool...too groovy. About to share this with my son, who, like me, is a tenor player also. Rest in Heaven Michael, Joe H., Joe F., Freddie and George. Miss you guys much. 🙏🏽🙌🏾🎵🎶🎼🎷🎺🎹

[@sitarnut]

Right on, Brother. This is Jazz Royalty. AJ's bass playing is Dreamsville to these old ears.

[@albertoguerrero3659]

Mike wasn’t phased at all by this lineup. He’s so confident.

[@hjs5686]

Now, why would he? He´s the GOAT!

[@davidsudak5114]

@@hjs5686Are you not hearing how evident Henderson’s influence is on Brecker here (and Joe F)? I guarantee you - Mike was humbled by that debt.

[@timwolf5497]

LOL; Michael's reaction when Freddie plays out of the key at 2:44. Love it!

[@thebreathalyzer]

Freddie took it all TF out. That's an incredible lick it goes so far out so fast, it's blinding

[@ajbfwb]

Speaking of Freddie and reactions, on the Sony videotap series from the 80s or 90s at The Blue Note, there's one with Freddie, Herbie Hancock, and a couple of other jazz greats I don't currently remember, but during Herbie's solo (I believe on Canteloupe Island), he steps out a bit and Freddie's reaction is CLASSIC.

[@stevesalerno4953]

He's not playing out of key, if you mean it in the sense of a clunker. Mike looks over at Randy because Freddie is playing a "patented" Randy Brecker riff on the chords. It's admiration and something of an inside joke.

[@intrepidpooch]

@@stevesalerno4953 Well Randy got it from Hub first but yeah LOL.

[@gangofgreenhorns2672]

@@stevesalerno4953 Right after that lick he does the Cannonball Adderly trill, on trumpet. Wish they would have caught Michael's reaction to that too.

[@dennycarlson9496]

What a feast! Love Joe Farrell’s solo the most

[@paulwagner4028]

Joe Henderson is my favorite solo in this line up

[@thebreathalyzer]

After what Mike played, Joe Farrell's solo was perfect.

[@SidLaw500]

Michael Brecker shines!

[@HansBaier]

Randy's trumpet solo was lovely... So relaxed ....

[@JulianHaugland]

was just about to write a similar comment! :D

[@erginyilmaztenor]

Wow. all of giants were there. Also japanese people love to listen jazz and their positive energy make the players monster.

[@pmd467]

[@mihirjoshi4385]

at 3:22 in this video, his lines remind me of his song "Nothing Personal" at minute 3:20, very very similar

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Wow.

DAYUM !

[@yzimsx]

Where can we find more of Robben Ford playing stuff like this? :D

[@jazzman1954]

This guy is easily on a par with RF if not better. I don’t know who he is.

[@jazzman1954]

Maybe it is RF?!??

[@jazzman1954]

The guy in the video looked so unlike RF I assumed wrongly that it wasn’t him. I didn’t check the credits or wait until the end. My mistake. Not a hanging offence hopefully.

[@bholaoates1542]

Lookin' like Joe Namath here... lol Anyway, you can see why Miles Davis hired him.

[@duncansmith8992]

I know what you mean. I didn’t think it looked or particularly sounded like him. At the very end Joe Farrel introduces the band and says it is Robben Ford on guitar.

[@pniiice]

wow, mike took a lot from joe.

joe and mike ripping

[@pleximanic]

Fucking insane!

[@azarisLP]

Joe Henderson criticized Michael Brecker later in his life for copying his sound, but Joe Farrell does a respectable Dexter Gordon imitation here. They all sound great though.
