I have a big spot in my musical heart for anything Herbie Hancock plays. The Mwandishi era is one of my favorite periods in Herbie's career tied with The Headhunters era. At the time each were ground breaking Jazz bands.
As far as the music and performance I don't have to sell this to any Jazz Fan. What I will sell to you is the fact this show sounds 100% better than how originally posted. I have both versions and this is definitely a sonic upgrade.

Thank you! And on the jazz front here in Vegas, the free jazz in the park shows include Al DiMeola in June and Marcus Miller in May. If they post the performances on facebook, like they've done in years past, I'll get some great recordings...
ReplyDeleteYou are speaking my language Gman! 2 greats there if they do post them, you know I want to hear them!

Agree about The Mwandishi era, Dave. Thanks for mentioning it's an upgrade...I had it and probably wouldn't have snagged this again. Also love to hear the Vegas shows Gman. shmoopatties
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy this version of the show. I have found that Goody has a real talent in making good shows sound even better. I always grab his remasters. I hope you enjoy this version my friend. Also if Gman gets some good recordings from the Vegas shows he spoke of, I will be sharing them here. He makes good tapes
