As soon as Michael Brecker starts playing...you know that you are in the presence of a great master!

[@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!

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

[@rodcoombes8711]

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.

[@written12]

The interplay between Scofield and Herbie is exceptional, the way Herbie echoes Scofield’s phrases while ever intruding on Scoflield’s solo.

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.

Well 1st off, thank you Jazz Video Guy!! Great videos from you, and especially this one!! It’s quite certain most, if not all jazz pianist, keep an eye on what Herbie’s up to. 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.

I thought I recognised this. It is on my New Standards CD. Interested that it was written by Sade which I hadn't realised or just forgotten. Who knows or can remember. Great to see it actually performed as very intense. I wonder how much his recordings with Creed Taylor helped create this type of music. In many ways this is a great time for the jazz fan as so much is accessible nowadays to see, buy or to listen on the music subs. Once it was just the few albums I could afford to buy. Just dug out the Milt Jackson/Sunflower LP which is labelled as a special import.
