My fellow Herbie Hancock Fans you are going to love this! After the great acoustic piano shows from Herbie we have this awesome electric and acoustic show for you. We even get a the Headhunters' Classic "Cantaloupe Island". Helping out The Man With The Hands are the Legendary Vinnie Colaiuta and Lionel Loueke working their magic on percussion and guitar respectively. Rounding out the Quintet are the very talented multi-instrumentalist Terrace Martin and bassist James Genus. 5 songs short but over an hour long, this set that starting off with a nearly 26 minute "Overture" is guaranteed to satisfy!

This is a partial show; the Al Di Meola concert segment it not included.
Jazz pianists played 23 cities across America, with several dates being professionally recorded.
Both record labels issued a live album, Columbia issued Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea – An Evening With Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea In Concert 1978, while Polydor released CoreaHancock. Tracks on both LPs are attributed to the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, and the Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, MI, so some of the King Biscuit tracks may be officially released.
We should cross-reference this against the official releases but I have not had the time to do so yet.
MOSHPIT.com has two tracks attributed to the Masonic on "Mar 8, 1978."
I see NO EVIDENCE they played the Masonic on that date. There are print ads for a concert on Thursday, February 2nd, 1978. They were originally scheduled for a single 7:30 show, but a second 10:30 show was added.
Thomas Albright, the critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote a harsh review, calling their solos "flawless gossamers of relentlessly pretty and occasionally witty effects - were close kin to the meandering improvisations of the cocktail lounge."
In contrast, the Chronicle's general pop cultural critic-at-large John L. Wasserman found the 40 minutes he watched (before he wandered over to the Fairmont to catch Peggy Lee (and have a drink, knowing Wasserman, a drink was almost certainly involved...) well, he found Corea and Hancock "no less than sensational" and "an experience I'll not soon forget."
Reactions to Mr. Albright's review were strong enough that he wrote a follow-up defense of his criticism a week later.

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.

One of my favorite set of bootlegs in my collection is the soundboards from Billy Joel & Sir Elton John's Head To Head Tour. This performance, this pairing of players equals and I personally would dare to say tops those recordings. It really comes through, the fun, friendship, and mutual musical respect, in this show. This show started my Sunday Morning Jazz wake up. I think it will be a great show for yours...

Wow! Can you believe it's time for Sunday Morning Jazz already. I don't know about you but I have had a busy week and I am ready to listen to some Jazz, sip my coffee, and watch the wind dance through the trees in my backyard.
What a show, what a recording the Legendary Mike Millard recorded the Legendary Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock! I really shouldn't have to say anything more but I am going to. This recording can be called soundboard quality! It is one of Mike MIllard's best recordings by far. That is saying a lot, but since it was such a laid back atmosphere Mike Millard was able to make a great audio capture. The audience never steps on the sound of the performance at all. The soundboard man had an awesome mix, everything presented on the stage is clearly heard. The performance is everything you would expect from two of the best keyboardists in Jazz...Enjoy the show my friends!

All right for this weeks Jazz For Sunday Morning, we have a great show from the Legendary Herbie Hancock. I have been listening to this for the past few days and I love it. Herbie and band are in excellent form. An added bonus, Herbie picked former Frank Zappa drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. Vinnie played on like 15 of Frank Zappa's records if my memory is correct. I know he's on 3 of my favorite Frank Zappa albums, Joe's Garage, Shut Up 'n Play Your Guitar, and Guitar.

This time for Sunday Morning Jazz We have a great 3 CD box set from Miles Davis. For those who have downloaded Transmission Impossible CDs in the past know that the quality is always good. You also get 3 different eras from Miles' career. Ever the innovator Miles Davis was The Jazz equivalent of a musical Camelion like David Bowie. His musical direction changed with a beat of a heart. Jazz fans, as well as Miles Davis fans look at the names I already dropped as featured on the album. Can it get any better than to have a compilation with some of the greatest players to emerge from the Miles Davis band.

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).

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit track marks, and adjust the volume. No WQ, or noise reduction was used. The waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

The music on this recording comes from a very experimental time in Herbie Hancock's career. The Mwandishi period was filled with vast improvisations on a theme. Three songs stretched into 2 hours of music that fans of Experimental Jazz, Progressive Rock (like King Crimson), Post Punk (like Swans) will love. The Mwandishi band released 3 LP's before Herbie Hancock decided to take a more Funk inspired turn with Headhunters.
