frankie dunlop is smoking on this one. and monk does his crazy dance! hilarious. and btw there's a rumour that butch warren is maybe on his way back into music
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 ;-)
"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
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
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
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)
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!
"you´ve got it bad girl", the stevie song from 1972. this was a tune from the "the new standard" group's touring repertory, around 1997.
had to cut the drum solo due to the 100mb limit sorry
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
Pharoah paying tribute to an old buddy. Not with the original ending from blue trane but noone plays that anymore. Joe Farnsworth on drums; I must've seen him a 100 times at Augie's back in the day
