Chick Corea starred at the Klaviersommer 1992 with his legendary formation. Next to him played Steve Gadd (dr), Eddie Gomez (b), Bob Berg (ts). This quartet had already set distinctive accents in the seventies. The revival at the Klaviersommer 1992 met with an enthusiastic auditorium.

I loved Bob Berg's playing for so long. Sometime several years ago I had a twitch and.... where is Berg lately.? So I looked him up and learned that he had died. Devastated, but the hard part was that it took so long for me to realize it had been too long. I really miss the man, it is just so damn tragic. Light on the path, Bob. Thanks for the time we had you. And, of course, now Chick is gone. This concert is stunning and gives testament to the brilliance of this ensemble....it just does not get any batter than this.

[@hahabass]

Damn, this is a truly heavyweight lineup! I'm glad I ended up here.

[@clydebermingham121]

Now , both departed 🙏🏽💥🙏🏽 (Bob Berg, & now Chick 🙏🏽)

[@HalethDagore]

Every time I hear BB play, I feel like he is attacking every bit of the music - full-on beast.

[@ricaard]

Bob Beast!

[@drummerflex]

Amazing video. I've never seen Steve Gadd play a flat ride before, let alone two flat rides! Must have been Chick's idea.

[@donroberts1420]

Could be. He did cherish the one Roy Haynes gave him.

Un fuera de Serie, Mágico.

[@kimpeccable]

Crazy genius shit! OMG, please never make this stop.

[@bozotheclown935]

Eddie Gomez... always an "aggressive" bass player... Aggressive in the feeling that he leads the notes he does not hang around to wait for a good moment. Love JP but it is interesting to hear Eddie Gomez at it. He always lit up those Bill Evans sessions.

[@giantessmaria]

Eddie's contribution to the Bill Evans trio was huge! Loved Scott LaFaro as well. But those Evans sessions were pure magic!

[@bozotheclown935]

Raj, don't get me wrong, I love Eddie. His contribution was stellar. When I did Jazz radio work in the mid 70's there was a couple who were rich and traveled the world following their Jazz passion. They knew Bill Evans and Bill admitted to Don [the husband in this pair], that Eddie was his best bass player. I only wish I could have been anything like the player Eddie was.

[@giantessmaria]

Oh, I gathered that you were complimenting Eddy, so cool. I remember hearing Bill say in many interviews how Eddy "fits him like a glove"! I'd imagine Bill was a difficult man to follow for many players initially, as his thinking is often so abstract, really unlike any other i'm aware of. For my taste, Bill was the most imaginative genius in our time...never get tired of his stuff, but ages like a fine wine, better every listen!

[@bozotheclown935]

@@giantessmaria What would have been great about him is that the world was you canvas. I worked with a lot of guys but I never worked with a drummer that could do it. Sounds crazy but bad drummers always "Accelerate" the time when you are on the leading side of each note which speeds up the song. As well, the quality of the instruments plays a big part in the quality of the sound. A bad quality bass is impossible to use with this style. Anyway, a few of my observations as a bassist. I left the instrument years ago to try and learn piano. One day I will own a full concert grand. All the best Raj..

35:22 is not Quartet 1, it is Sicily. 48:44 is not Quartet 3, it is Quartet 1. Great concert. Thank you for posting it.

[@anubis_team748]

Thx

[@MrYvm]

And this is the very best version of Sicily ! I listen and look at it at least once a week since years ! Impossible to confuse with any tune of Three Quartets LP.

Don't be surprised if you see a musician sad these days... it was one of the gods who died.

Bob Berg RIP ;(

[@belsha]

But there is a mistake: track 4 at 35:22 isn't "Quartet N°1" but "Sicily" from the "Friends" album.

[@belsha]

The next track, labeled "Quartet 3" then actually is quartet 1

[@mitchkahle314]

Phew!

[@bozotheclown935]

Great to hear Chick playing a Steinway rather than A YAMAHA. Mind you the Yam's suit his playing with that powerful bright sound, but he is beating up on teh bass end here and man it just comes out so nice. I realize this is not the garden variety Grand. It is probably more like that sensational piano Keith Jarred uses in Japan at his solo concerts. Anyhoo, Chick a master craftsman getting these percussive sounds out of it.

[@vKarl71]

Such great music. Too bad the sound is so distorted. But we're lucky to have it anyway. 30 years ago!

[@agengselo5361]

Eddie gomez, song a Ginkakuji and japanese waltz

15:09 Angry Corea

[@bryanalfonso5700]

Rename this video Corea, Berg, Gadd, Gomez, or any other order you think more appropriate, and hopefully you will get more views - that this concert deserves. Regardless of whoever uses the title " And Friends", it always sounds cheap to me - like he's playing with some guys he met outside a club. Chick's Freedom Band in Marciac has about 10 times the views as this. Admittedly, it's a great concert, but this one is excellent too.

[@fredcilano899]

Chick did a CD called friends, with this band. Except Joe Farrell was on sax. Thus the title.

[@mattperko2425]

You missed Sicily between That Old Feeling and Quartet #1.

[@laszlokalman6471]

Now, 35:22 is not Quartet 1 but Sicily

35:22 is Sicily

[@paulec2634]

I'm looking for a Chick Corea track that I performed in school with a band and orchestra that is far more 'easy listening' than any of his tracks that I find on youtube. Something that non-jazz fans can appreciate. I don't know the name of it. It has a very simple but great bass line riff: the notes (I think) are: E-F-F sharp-G on the lower E string, then F-G in a higher octave, then another six notes (same pattern but starting on the A string I think), then back to those first six notes again & keep repeating. Can anyone help?

[@nnamdinnc1434]

Is it la fiesta?

[@paulec2634]

@@nnamdinnc1434 I'm listening to a live perf of La Fiesta now and it never seems to escape from its introduction, it's like one long introduction and I'm 5 minutes in now so I'm losing hope. This track we played in school has a very distinctive bass line, a clear tune, which seems really unusual for Chick tbh. :) Thank you though!

[@nnamdinnc1434]

​@@paulec2634 maybe sometime ago which is the intro to laziest? Tho I don't think so. I dunno hope you find it!
