jaco & toots, & the word of mouth big band. goosebumps. and btw: 2 musicians "known on a first name basis with all music fans of all varieties everywhere in the world" (in the words of mr. metheny)
pat revisits his 70's repertoire, "lone jack" from the first pm group ecm record. cool dotted notes in the bridge. featuring a killer solo from sanchez
from the "I can see your house from here" tour, 1994. for this project they brought in steve swallow, who had been both pat's and john's mentor. just before pat retired the es175, and maybe around the time he got into those shirts ;-)
herbie & his men playing "toys" some 35 years after the original recording on "speak like a child". well how's it gonna sound in maybe 2040 herbie? looking forward!
3 young cats making history! unfortunately there's not a lot of charlie in the mix. but there's a tambourine on the piano! oh oh when will he bash that thing? shortly after this clip stops keith grabs the soprano too. 1970
this song makes me so happy everytime. and they're all here...bob mintzer! randy brecker! toots! othello molineaux! peter erskine! don alias! btw othello´s son jivin lives here in copenhagen & plays great electric bass
this clip might have been edited shortly after bill connors left since we almost don't see his face...good thing both he and al dimeola played les paul customs at the time
"eyes of love", montreux 1992, some 20 years after they did the score for "the getaway" together. just a bit schmaltzy maybe, but at least it's not the cosby theme, and as always toots can make a stone cry, or smile, or both
the way dexter gradually lost his chops in his later years and just kept on keeping on absolutely testifies to the strength and spirit of this music. I had to cut the last few bars due to the 100mb limit sorry
