Esbjörn Svensson's breathtaking solo is the reason I keep playing this video over and over again. It's just perfect.

[@andrewblack6017]

I get that. I come here for the Brecker one, but yeah. ESB all the way.

[@jameslee5520]

One of the single best piano solo ever heard. Ever.

Ich hatte das Glück Live dabei gewesen zu sein. Ein unvergessliches Konzert! RIP Michael Brecker, Esbjörn Svensson.

[@g.harris]

I can hardly think of anyone who could play outside quite like Michael. Herbie likes to do it from time to time and he does it tastefully. But I cannot think of anyone who does it with such depth, takes you out on a journey so far away outside the key, brings you back into it only to take you outside again and ultimately bring you back just at the right moment at the right place. Thank you, Michael, for that indescribable trip. Miss you. My eternal admiration.

[@susanjohnson761]

Have you listened to Herbi’s Letters to Joni and yes I’m a Joni fan and Herbi fan but you don’t have to be. It’s a little gem but the diamond is when Tina Turner sings “Edith and the Kingpen” I like hers better than Joni’s.

[@g.harris]

@@susanjohnson761 Thanks. I did now:)

[@Kidmann]

You are right. I also miss John Coltrane... A master in space trips..

[@AAT0246]

Credit to Sting he wrote it knowing that someone would play it like this. Imagine being Sting sitting back and hearing your piece played at this level. Credit goes to Sting, Chords, Melody, Lyric, Concept, Amazing. I love how Pat sat back and played it perfectly nonchalantly. Pat is a Titan, and his music is something else, for the sake of being polite, besides this.

[@Hackente]

This is my Addiction, my drug. At least once a week I have to listen to this, what a masterpiece!

[@jdude1195]

I was also the same when I first listened this song 3 years ago, now I came back here, because Annie Lennox performed the same song, but no one could beat this , I recently learnt that this was originally by Sting.

[@svensvensson6705]

what's your favourite part?

[@jdude1195]

@@svensvensson6705 it is hard to answer, every artist gave their best in this song, bass guitar at 1.30 to 2.47 is my favourite part not only that piano is also captivating,I am not a fan of sax , I love trumpet and clarinet more so I can't comment on that.

Extraordinary, magnificent, phenomenal…a mixture of it all😊

[@ruthroberts7742]

This is jazz at its finest. Jazz musians take a good song and elevate it to another level. Pat metheny is a true jazz artist who collaborates with other musicians seamlessly for our enjoyment.

[@marklammas2465]

Pat Metheny is a fluid unknown to science. What amazing properties...

[@RLP69guitar]

Such amazing piece of jazz, look how everyone works with hard intensity on his part and together it’s a composition of all together. Now one is the hero and others are just helpers, like you can see in other genres of Musik. That’s why I love jazz- the queen of Musik🤓😎♥️. And Sting was blessed 😇 by the way for his wonderful song fragile as a blue print

[@davebartholome2924]

[@blackdogbite]

Wow. Just incredible. They are all on fire...but Michael Brecker's solo is astonishing.

[@TheDriveDemo]

Unbelievable!!! Even by his standards!

[@elprofeamieva5306]

A falta de armonías exteriores, Michael Brecker, tuvo que crearse su propio mundo disonante y así convertir una canción pop en la base de un solo legendario y quizá uno de los más complejos y desesperados de la historia. Michael es un mago que construyó un mundo atonal y monumental de un tema que ya no daba para más. Michael jalo a toda la banda y los llevo a otro universo. Realmente increíble. Fuimos testigos de un milagro.

[@susanjohnson761]

Glad for “translations”. Music is, in this case, the language which brings us together!! What great tastes we share😊

[@ernestomizrahi4034]

Coincido contigo….que viaje alucinante…!!!

Such an amazing performance of a beautiful song. I was blessed to have seen Pat perform with Michael Brecker and Jaco in the summer of 1979.

[@michaelcorenzwit6860]

Beautiful performance by all of these great musicians. I especially liked the piano solo and the way it built in intensity from a quiet beginning to a crescendo of intensity. I have listened to this often and grown fonder with each new listening. I will listen again soon.

[@user-zx4ub8kj4j]

O!M!G! Just saw this for the first time! One of the best compositions from a great artist taken to the upper atmosphere by Metheny and this band of mad geniuses! Oh, to play my bass like that! Heavenly!

[@manuelmolinagomez1163]

You can hardly make such exciting and beautiful music. Musicians know how to arrive with each note that sounds deep inside. Great.

[@Elixear]

On touche là à l'essence pure de la musique, une virtuosité à fleur de peau, toujours au service de tout et de l'autre, une magie de la communion harmonique, une seule et unique oreille. Profitez de cet extraordinaire réunion, car ces moments uniques privilégiés ne sont que trop rares dans le monde.

Can a recording of this performance be bought on CD or DVD?

[@Photoregard]

A DVD was released at the time, but unfortunately it's now sold out... It was too broadcasted on TV, but I guess only in mono.

[@jimmyalsaxo]

​@@Photoregard I did a lot of research on the net and never found a good quality version of that concert, not Amazon, not eBay, not downloadable copies of the concert. I found a Japanese DVD edition on eBay, bought it and it was very poor quality, worse than the KZbin versions. I hope to one day find someone who shares a good quality version of this incredible concert. If anyone knows where to buy / download it they should share it for the sake of great music.

[@fridtjofharder9828]

@@jimmyalsaxo you can drop me a message if you need help navigating through the contact form, it seems to be only in German. The price will probably be in the range of 40 to 50 Euro though... But I'm not sure, they will tell you of course how much if they have the broadcast in their archives.

[@jimmyalsaxo]

@@fridtjofharder9828 Hi. Thanks for the info! Could you share the link or the name of the webpage are you talking about? It would be amazing!!

[@fridtjofharder9828]

​@@jimmyalsaxo Hey, I'm not quite sure what happened here, it seems I either forgot to send my first comment, or it got removed somehow. 3sat is a German public broadcaster. Public broadcasters in Germany offer a service where you can request recordings from their archives. As far as I understand, 3sat broadcasted at least 90 minutes of this concert, and more from JazzBaltica 2003 in general. Unfortunately there is no official "shop" for such archive recordings, so you have to contact the broadcaster and ask them if they have the recordings still in their archives and are willing to ship them (which, I think, is not guaranteed they do especially if it is from a concert). You have two options: 1. Contact 3sat directly under www.3sat.de/service-und-hilfe/kontakt-3sat-100.html 2. Perhaps a better option is to contact the broadcasting station ZDF, which is responsible for organizing the 3sat broadcsts. ZDF has, to my knowledge, a rather well organized service for answering such requests. To contact ZDF, do the following: Go to zdf-service.de/kontakt/ and in the dropdown menu "Wählen Sie Ihre Anfrage aus" choose "Sendemitschnitte zur privaten Nutzung" (this means "recordings for private use"). Fill in the form and hope for the best... Sending the form is of course just a general request, if they answer (which I hope they will...), they will tell you the details about the cost etc. I hope you will be successful.

I don't agree, I love Michael brecker but I'm not sure it is a good idea to always go in some other tune, that means a kind of another amazing Brecker solo wathever is the tune. The name of this tune is "fragile" but it could be called "Brutus" he played the same solo 😂 I like the way Pat and especially Esbjorn played something in the mood of the tune.
