What can I say about The Legendary Herbie Hancock that I haven't said already. For that matter the same goes for Wayne Shorter and Dave Holland. There are 17 Herbie Hancock related shows on the site (here), 10 Wayne Shorter related shows (here), and a staggering 21 Dave Holland related shows (here). So I am going to concentrate my comments on the awe inspiring performance on the drums by Brian Blade. Brian Blade has recorded/performed with more Jazz artists than I want to name here but Chick Corea, Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldah & Daniel Lanois have all used Brian for drums. Brian is the perfect anchor for the wandering improvisation that Herbie, Wayne & Dave want to present here. The man can go from powerhouse to soft inflections on a dime. The intricacies are superbly accented & supported by Brian's playing. This is another show from the quartets Forensic Music Tour. If you want more the 1st one posted on the site can be found (here).
