To be in that audience goose bumps. Absolute giants all of them.

this is an absolutely awesome performance. the musicianship is off-the-hook. perfection! i have this on vhs but this appears to be a beautiful upload from the laser disc. thank you.

Glad you like it!

What a mesmerizing, eternal evening. A bit sad after the passing of legends Brecker and Abercrombie. I saw the VHS for the first time in the early 90's. After 3 decades, this music still sounds just as intense. Needless to say that the ultra refined sounds of the other two legends - Johnson and Erskine - make the experience even more remarkable and unique.

I was fortunate to see John Abercrombie, Michael Brecker twice and Peter Erskine twice. Never got to see Marc Johnson.

I love the mullet Marc Johnson is rocking

What a performance from people some now dead who you’ll never see on mainstream tv. Neil Peart approached Erskine for lessons late on in his career and you can see why. What a drummer

[@BurnsTennis]

Neil Peart has to get a lot of respect for having the courage to take lessons at that stage in his career and fame. He's no longer with us either.

[@DabsDad]

Neil Peart began studying with Peter Erskine to build on the foundation he'd started with Freddie Gruber

Great to be in that audience , quiet free form jazz . I love the synthesizer he has on his guitar and the little bit of that echo at the first , everything calmly under stated . Michael Brecker is a monster sax player who unfortunately died way to early , his brother who played trumpet is still with us I think . When they were learning their instruments , they played the hell out those exercise books , because when they played together it was a cutting contest , lots of velocity and both of them equally gifted . I'm sure they had a musical up bringing , their father was a famed pianist . The bass player and the drummer are first class musicians . So much talent and restraint .
