“Solar” (Live, 1990)

[@jinjxmusic]

I love how Herbie and Pat give each other space. Guitarists and Pianists can sometimes struggle to play together though masters know when to drop out or play softly. I love this band more than life.

[@mikestevens5512]

Supernova band!! Just st unbelievable!

[@rl2905]

Totally agree. Great players listen more and care more about the sound of the band, versus how they sound individually.

[@BauerHouse]

I have so many experiences at gigs and jam sessions where the opposite happens and the two comp over each other. infuriating.

[@blopa5893]

what about holland and jack

[@philipclayberg4928]

Guitar: Pat Metheny Piano: Herbie Hancock Bass: Dave Holland Drums: Jack DeJohnette

[@tilleryjohnson8045]

Phillip Clay killer line up

[@philipclayberg4928]

Indeed!

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Tillery Johnson, do you know Pat M. history? How he approached Gary Burton at 17 and ended up playing in his band. Yes, amazing band. Killers all

[@tilleryjohnson8045]

Michael Brickley I did not know that about Dave Holland thanks

[@philipclayberg4928]

Tillery: Dave Holland continues to be one of the best jazz bassists. Hard to believe he's been playing jazz since the 1960s, challenging all the musicians and drummers he's performed with to play even better than they usually do.

[@santih5043]

Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette lock in so incredibly well!

[@jongell]

Santi H they’d been playing together for 20 years already when this was filmed. Amazing, really!

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Well they both trained together under the best with Miles.

[@grazianopugliese5146]

I saw the same tour in Milan few weeks later, at that time I only knew Pat Metheny and Dave Holland cause I had a cd with Pat, Dave and Roy Haynes. After a couple of tunes I said WowI who's playing the piano? I remember some audience watched me saying Are you kidding?!? what the hell are you saying ,,, That concert changed my life ! I've had to tell you this for thirty years :)) Un saluto da Bergamo, Italy

I have been listening to this great CD, Parallel Realities Live, since its release. And now I can see it. It's even greater. :-)

[@tompribyl2884]

The musicianship of these four is amazing. Equally amazing is how seamlessly they blend together, as if they had been playing together for a decade.

[@BrotherBrownMusic]

Dave Holland absolutely rips on this cut, incredible playing!

[@gontsemabusela7574]

The combination of Herbie Hancock and Jack dejohnette at 4:12, they intuitively connected and it rings in my head every day. U don't get that often. Jack dejohnette's drumming is out of this world

[@BetoPerretta]

The snippet from 4:32 to like 4:40 from all 3 is off the hook.. I thought they would mess up first time I heard.

These are titans at the top of their game. Dave Holland just killed on that solo and Pat is still playing his magical ES-175 with that satin-y pillow tone which he unfortunately moved away from some years later

[@normsaunders4980]

That tone is truly amazing. Turned my head around from the first.

[@stuartdryer1352]

[@yaroslavtarnavskiy7721]

I dreaming to see these guys together again. Specially Herbie and Pat is my favorite musicians. And this repertoire is good: 9 over reggae, cantaloupe island, indigo dreams, jack in ... I searched different concerts of this band, because I wanted to hear different solos of each melody. They are super great. Interesting, how these guys together will sound now.

[@ranran2069]

Walking bass line performed in this is very comfortable for me. Furthermore, Pat metheny and Harbie hancock's improvisation is one of the best . Recently , I listen to this everyday. Thank you for uploading this.

[@andrear.berndt9504]

Wow, this Video reminds me of that OpenAir - Concert in Hamburg /Stadtpark where I saw these four fantastic musicians and the unforgotten Michael Brecker playing together ! I'm so grateful !

I remember seeing this show in Toronto during the tour. So grateful to have had that experience. It was an evening blissfully inspirational music.

[@chillateam9847]

Robert Langer That show in Toronto was at Roy Thompson Hall. The tour was in support of their album Parallel Realities. What I remember best about that night was the other shows that was going to happen later in the night. Mike Stern at George's Spaghetti House & Eric Johnson at The El Macombo. I was fortunate to see this show and cabbed it to be in time for Eric Johnson. A night I will never forget.

[@frankdahmen7401]

[@Chris-cf2kp]

Reminds me of Tony William's drumming on The Sorcerer album. Appropriate considering Herbie. I even hear Herbie play some phrases I recognize from that album. That's cool, I guess in a way it's a slight homage to Miles Davis's memory since he made the tune his own, or so it's said.

[@williepard]

And a later Metheny collaborator, Antonio Sanchez. Sanchez used his left hand quite differently than De Jonhnette, but close your eyes and listen.
