[@BurnsTennis]

I love how Herbie Hancock and Tony Williams switch from jazz to rock fusion with consumate ease.

[@PIERRE-ERNEST]

Did you heard Ron Carter with Bill Frisell ? A great groove like that is a jewell with all this faces is a color

[@josephvenitt8942]

My favorite SANTANA guitar he's playing the sound in person is like a meteorite shower of sound what a troop of fine brothers doing what they love they'll go down in history thank you to ALL,,, RON CARTER GOD FATHER of the Bass,,, Blessings to ALL,,, PEACE and LOVE,,, AUM*

Wow Tony Williams one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[@saracinesca9864]

Sono d'accordo!

With Tony that could be an understatement...

[@murkymurk8305]

@@saracinesca9864 Well, for me he is one of the greatest, but to many, he is THE greatest without peers....

[@saracinesca9864]

@@murkymurk8305 I apologize, I do not know the English language well, and perhaps I did not understand what you wrote because the google translator is very funny, in this sense, and translates things at random .. so, I try to guess the meaning, with the knowledge basic that I have, and to answer you: with the amount of great drummers (great, that is, serious professionals) who have alternated in history and who still exist (I think of Steve Gadd, for example), as well as great musicians in general , I believe that "the best" in absolute cannot exist, because the absolute, for me, does not exist, everything is relative to the point of view of whoever expresses the judgment .. and it is very difficult, therefore, to establish a thing of the genus! unless, I don't know, you create a robot specifically to do it, by means of calculations .. but still, they would always be just "calculations"! Tastes are personal .. and they do not apply universally, always and in any case! I think this.

Ron Carter on bass, it's awesome being a bass player!

It certainly is ;)

I'm so glad this is shared with the world! What a great moment in history!

[@FUNKINETIK]

She’s Not There and Let the Children Play opened my ears to Santana when I was a kid in the late 70’s. Being raised on Jazz n Soul and finding Funk about the same time I bought the album Sunlight by Herbie H. I’m embarrassed to say I never new they collaborated until just watching this. Tell Me a Bedtime Story Now by Herbie on Quincy’s Sounds n Stuff Like That is one of my all time favourite tunes, starts off dreamy and builds up n up to an amazing crescendo like all good tunes do. P E A C E : )

[@waynefoote3781]

Very very VERY nice!! Difficult for me to express my thanks to you for uploading this. EVERYONE is that their DAZZLING best, and the rapport between the 2 Buddhists -- Herbie and Carlos -- is electrifying. Ron's brilliant also, and Tony's vintage spot-on!! Thank you THANK YOU for retrieving this SUPERLATIVE performance from the archives. Stuff DOESN'T get much better .. especially THESE days.

[@dwightgaston6079]

Wow! Thank you for this! A very young Raul Rekow, a star in the making. And Wynton! Looking like Herbie! Showing us glimpses of the giant he was going to be. A gem indeed!

Sure, but Herbie was a giant long before this jam. Miles Davis and that famous 2nd quintet, his own Blue Note albums, all the other greats he played along with . . .

[@michaelalexander8631]

Ron Carter’s left hand is truly amazing.

[@ianbuxton8332]

After just over 41 minutes Herbie demonstrates JUST WHAT a BRILLIANT ELECTRIC GUITARIST he COULD have been! Fantastic!! One of the best solos that I've ever heard him play on ANY instrument!!! 👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎

[@vomitingconfetti7187]

Santana is a very intelligent musician. It was during this kind of collaboration that I appreciate him more. How he figure what notes to play during his solos knowing that he's playing with jazz monsters was a sight to behold. Love you Carlos!

[@kevinsmith2387]

Two chord vamps, Dorian mode and blues licks. Not exactly rocket science.

[@andyokus5735]

It's funny how Herbie and Santana were both made famous by David Rubenstein.

GREAT PERFORMANCE ! Devadip Carlos Santana & His group at The Top with Legendary Supermen in Jazz History .

[@ajn465]

Wynton is a wee baby here playing with a band of established legends. And as I look at the close-ups, I realize how much his chops look like clark Terry’s. And if anyone ever had a perfect set up, it was Clark Terry. And Wynton is so mature beyond his years here musically. People argue about some of the choices he’s made along the way, but he’s done what he wanted to do. Don’t we all wish we could do even that.

Wonderful historic performance of not just Herbie, Carlos, Wynton, and Tony but Ron Carter's bass solo got me and the crowd feelin' him! David Margen's contribution also is superb! His Fender Bass style is a better fit with three more percussionists.

[@timothyslaughter476]

So many incredible drummers the world has enjoyed. But there really just a few groundbreaking drummers in my opinion. Tony Williams definitely on that list. In the modern era ill add Steve Gadd and Stuart Copeland. Not to diminish other drummers at all but these guys changed drumming and therefore music in general. Just my opinion though. All subjective.

[@加賀谷一雄]
