    I was at this gig, in fact I even made it to the afternoon soundcheck before the actual concert, I wanted to make sure I got a front row seat! However, now I realize the young and not-enough-aware version of me didn't properly understand this miracle here. Probably felt the vibe, yes, but today I am _listening_ at last! Thanks for posting!

    I saw them on this tour. Before that gig I was appreciative, yet wary of jazz. That gig was my gateway drug you see. It was a balmy summer night in Madrid. They were set up in Conde Duque, an old barracks turned cultural center. I knew of Jack, Don and Dave from Bitches Brew, a record I knew and loved. Herbie was on fire and the piano was exquisitely amplified. Brecker and Sco blew me away. I love the combination of what's essentially an acoustic quartet + percussion with the electric guitar. It's pretty unique (Metheny group at times, but they're more synthy). Nobody has done that better than this combo. Now 30 years later I'm a massive jazz and jazz rock fantic. I love free jazz, the whole thing. And it was thanks to that gig.

The guy has such an amazing contribution, not only to the jazz genre, but really to listening ears all over the world regardless of styles. My personal favorite of Herbie are the recordings he did w/ the late Jaco Pastorius (Speak like a Child) etc.

    Herbie is one of the all time Jazz greats. However, I'm shocked that he didn't mention Les Paul in regards to the formation of R'N'R. Sure, Hendrix was an innovator but Mr. Paul INVENTED the instrument he chose to make that statement with and multitrack recording which was used to record, arguably, Hendrix's biggest hit 'Purple Haze'. I'm always astounded at how many amazing musicians fail to recognize that man's invaluable contributions to music including his albums.

    Jeez, Jack really swings this hard. For my money, prime DeJohnette is my favourite jazz drummer for nearly any situation. So fluid and so articulate.

    For those who like to skip the interviews (but they are fairly interesting; you should listen to them at least once):
    04:05 is where the actual music starts.

      Jack can always be counted on to bring some heat.
