Every single one of these musicians was incredible. The saxophonist was actually my favorite, such a blend of soul, jazz and Latin flavors blending in that solo. Not to take away from all the other fantastic musicians, this was too notch. Saw Stevie live recently and he was just as amazing now as he as always been.

This recording with Stevie Wonder's Band in London is without a doubt one of the very best live recordings of Chick Corea's "Spain". Stevie has brought together a band with musicians who not only accompany the arrangement perfectly, but also play very creative solos. You can feel that the musicians' joy in playing has spread to the audience: This is jazz!

@@jochenha43Think you’re being too nice here, a good Jazz pianist would have ripped it apart. She played it way too safe and mainly kept to melody.

[@jochenha43]

@@slapmyfunkybass You are right. But actually my answer wasn't referring to Victoria's solo at 6:58, but to Stanley Randolph's drum solo with which the original post above started. And which for me is the best solo here. Victoria's is ok too. Pretty much based on the melody, with some rhythmic variations. But since this is a pop act... no problem... easy listening... The "best scene" I was referring to above was her astonished look and smile after the drum solo, where I think she had trouble finding the 1 again and was happy to be able to rejoin in the rhumba clave break, with the others. After letting a few quarter notes pass... ;-)

I have listened to this recording hundreds of times in the past year. The first time I heard it, I was blown away.

And that sax solo! I could listen to that for hours... Friggin' love the saxophone. Along with this, I loved the bass part.

I completely agree, it's what I thought too! In terms of virtuosity the trumpet has them all beat, also it was the most melodically pleasing solo. Next is the first keyboard solo that was really cool. I hate the rhodes solo... I guess it's just being so used to Chick Coreas soloing I feel like it was the most underwhelming one, and to be honest it sounds like she prelearned it...

[@allen6924]

One of the best covers of this song. They swung till they hit the ceiling. I love this song and they did it more than justice, they let it out of jail.

[@KeepItReels]

Masterpiece with many masters.

[@khaimang4]

What can I say? One of my favorite Stevie Wonder Jazz-influenced concerts. This ensemble of talent is absolutely among the very best!

[@yonihyams6425]

I can not Express how incredible this peice of music is. From the unison to the chores to the solos every note and hit here is absolutely perfect and synchronized to perfection. I've been listening to this for the past week straight and I can't get enough of it. Still get the chills at the end of his drum solo. Overall..INCREDIBLE!!
