Have always loved this since I had it taped off tv on VHS in high school. It holds up and then some. Gary Thomas was always the standout to me. Machine gun licks over a dreamy groove. Pat's killin' it too. The whole band has it.

This needs nothing

[@fearthechin]

Synth guitar and lots of hair. Whats not to like? The funny thing about jack's shirt is i swear I have seen Bill Bruford wear the same type. Popular in the 80's maybe?

Thanks a lot, I have an old VHS of this, taped off TV, but it's edited, omitting the sax solo, jump-cutting to Pat's stuff. I saw that show, I remember it left my 18 year old self with a vicious headache but I liked it anyway!

Either polytonal, harmelodic, or they just learned the tune the previous night and are being thrown off by the changes, or, Dejohnette asked them to "go for the nuts";^) Methany's lines are not too surprising if you've heard much of him before. I would say that's his "go for the nuts" mode.

[@klaurent13]

yes it was a montreal jazz festival at the theatre st denis in 7/07/88

[@robertgeorgerees]

Pants!!!!! those were the days.....

[@RocknJazzer]

the sax guys solo styles sound like that new york late 80's / early 90's outside downtown style populat then, similar to what Steve Coleman (nyc) and Steve Washington (uk) were doing then, and probably others as well. It sounds distinctive as being weirdly "out" more than normal playing "out", if that makes any sense. I dont know if this style is still the hip kind of "out" style in nyc jazz circles now. the next batch of players probably moved on with their own "out" style different than this.

Steve Coleman and Greg Osby were the founding members of the M-Base school of musical innovation and philosophy based in Brooklyn starting around the mid 80's...

The MC Hammer reference is ridiculous. Hammer didn't come into the public eye until 2 years later (1990) The pants in the video have been worn on the African continent for centuries. Hammer didn't invent or popularize them.

[@onnomon]

What I mean about "going for the nuts" is not so much about what particular scales or notes and more about the musical energy to-be-conveyed. Metheny often uses his GR synth to deliver hail storms of such musical energy- this is what I refer to as going "for the nuts".

[@UncleGroOve]

LOL - do you know just how difficult it is to play that damn old Roland guitsynth?... The stuff he does is amazing considering the limits of that specific piece of equipmt. Just shows that tone ain't nothing if you don't nail them nice notes!! Paul

[@edsonjr.guitar]

Esse vídeo me lembra um amigo meu: Roberto "Mancha" Feliz páscoa a todos, bom feriado!!!

[@mothermasako]

what's going on? where is the vibraphone I hear constantly?? & who's playing it?

[@HarryMillerMusicOfficial]

It's an electronic sequencer, programmed by Jack DeJohnette I assume.

[@BurnsTennis]

@@HarryMillerMusicOfficial That's right. It gives the track a nice sound. The original track also uses the sequencer.

[@chatonpmg]

***** Add five more of those stars!
