Awesome performance. I love the way that Jamal and Burton trade "comping" duties without so much as a look. True musical ESP by real heavyweight jazz masters. I have wondered for years what this Burton-Jamal collaboration was like and I see it is amazing & swings hard.
Interestingly enough, This concert, the video you are viewing, at Midem in France, were never supposed to be released to the public as the artists were never properly compensated for it. The concert was billed as simply the Ahmad Jamal Trio... NO Gary Burton! Professors from a college asked if they could record the concert for educational purposes and let Gary sit in on a few. Ahmad reluctantly agreed as it was his trio's concert and he is an organized professional. Ahmad made the greatest music with Payton and Sabu.
Gary's own band were also on the same bill. I have the DVD and it contains both bands.. I recall this shown on late night TV in the UK around 1991 or so. Thanks to the people who recorded this though its a shame the artists did not get compensated in some way…
Name of the LP is Ahmad Jamal/Gary Burton In Concert: Recorded live at MIDEM January 26th 1981. I have the LP and also the concert on DVD. Note that the LP is a bit different as the start of One has more of a vamp... the DVD was edited to have Autumn Leaves morph into One... same gig though just that the video editor used his own artistic licence I suppose!
A delightful "game,' thanks to Ahmad's devilish streak and Gary's willingness (and ear) to play along. (Gary always tended to enjoy be the guy in charge and having complete control, making his attempt to accommodate Ahmad (real name: Fritz Jones) all the more rare. Music is exactly this: it's about "play."
I might not have understood the concept, but I got the impression that gary was supposed to fill in all the brakes. But really the whole piece has such an addicting groove !.
To his friends early on, he was "Fritz." (Heck, I choose that myself over Frederick Russell if I was simply looking to get accepted by the other kids in the neighborhood.)
There are several versions of the audio CD at Amazon with various names, all of them containing the words 'In Concert', but I'm not sure which one would be the best. Did you mean the video? If so, what's the name or call number?
This is what "playing" music is, these guys are playing and having fun in the best manner possible. Pure fun!!!
Yoooooo, I've been listening to this song my whole life and I just caught what I think was a "Chameleon" quote around 4:28.
Whoa, I never noticed that! Good ear!
I heard this at least one million times in my life ❤️

I love the way Ahmad hands the stage to Gary in utter collaborative recognition. Gary is a profoundly gifted musician.
