One of my favorite musicians - thanks for this Dave!!
ReplyDeleteMine too George! I love him because of his ability to move musically from one form of Jazz to another with out losing a step. So much talent in that man!

This thing is nuts! One of the best-sounding and most interesting boots I've heard in a while. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a digital rebroadcast of an older show so the sound quality is definitely a step up for sure. The song choices and arrangements are something that could only come from someone like Herbie Hancock leading an all star line up of Jazz Legends like the ones on stage. You are so right it's one of the most interesting bootlegs I have heard in a while. I hope you enjoy it for a while. It's actually in heavy rotation at my house. Oh yes almost forgot to say You're very welcome Jackson!

Hey, JD. I sure would like to hear this. Would you re-up please. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely John! I'll get that today with the rest of the requests!

Thank you JD!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Gman! I thought this one might be a little closer to your listening than Roland Kirk. On this they play songs people will know. They noodle around on the main themes but actually play the song too. A little harder to get into than his Headhunters fusion days but more accessible than the Avant-garde Jazz of his Mwandishi period.

thanks brother!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome John! Herbie Hancock is one of my favorite Jazz keyboardists. Chic Corea, Bill Evans, George Duke and Jan Hammer are right up there with him. You will see a lot of their work here.
