Nobody ever mentioned Mclaughlin for his extraordinay chords knowledge.His use of unusual chords is excepitonal.Together with his fameous singlenotes soloing this makes him one of the best guitarists in history.
@@jofinsky8400hmm two years ago minus 8 months, 18 thumbs up minus 2, +1 thumbs up from me. Oh my gosh I was never that good at math… 1000 miles away from my own instruments, but there’s A semi in tune piano close by… Do I subtract piano tuning from learning to play the piano or would that be an addition? Oh man there’s a 60s D 18 downstairs but it’s left-handed, so southpaw subtracted from up north where I am in James Bay…. I think I’ll switch from math back to improvisation and just listen & smile!
They're making some cool stuff happen, following the model that Evans himself pursued with his bassists like LaFaro and Gomez (or guitarist Jim Hall), blurring the line between soloing and accompanying. This is one of Bill's greatest tunes, and Herbie plays it beautifully.
These are two guys who have seen and done a lot in the music industry. At one time they both had bands that were creating music that became genres unto themselves and we have not seen their equal since. They make it seem so easy and effortless when they do stuff like this.
This is a very nice tribute to Jazz pianist Bill Evans.Whay a great pairing for such a beautiful song.The first time I heard this song on one of Bill Evans cd it actually made me cry.I couldn't help my self because it was beautiful and knowing Evans had a drug abuse problem. Thank you for this post.
There's an absolutely wonderful album by bassist Miroslav Vitous tat features both of these guys. Originally there were two 6-track versions - Infinite Search and Mountain In The Clouds. each of which of which featured one track missing from the other. Anyway, the whole 7-track album is now available from Amazon; on it, Herbie and Johnny Mac have a telepathic understanding and chemistry. (And Miroslav's playing is quite incredible.)
@brambau I haven't heard the original, but I see your point, but herbie did have some incredibly brilliant well placed runs. What I thought would have been better if john backed off when herbie hit a stride or had an idea, and they fed off each other. I felt like John could have responded better to herbies playing, and I thought Herbie really followed john, and fed off his ideas a lot better. Now, going to listen to the OG 1.
@brambau imo you comment is too much critic: john doesnt play that fast; maybe he only does in the solos, but its just normal to play faster on the solos, and his chords progressions are great, as his rithmic feel and the improvisation. this performance is just brillant!
@jbenjaminwilson Lost their tone? I think someone has lost his mind..If anyone finds it email it to him and hurry. And if you happen to also find McGlaughlins pedals, then keep them because he didn't need them here either.
For those brilliant critics complaining about the loose timing and overplaying..., it's a bit of rubato, counterpoint and heavy improvisation, but, the timing is perfectly in..., you are just incapable of hearing anything and clearly have no idea of what you all are complaining about..
@brambau the only right comment we can have about this song (and all the other) is the feeling we have about it... why do you we have to waste our time to convice people to agree we us because we are all rights ??
What happened is the piece is out of synch rather then accompany each other they're playing against each other...Herbie solos the same time Mclaughlin does drowinig out his guitar...the solo is great if it was just Herbie ...also they way Herbie soloed is for a quarter not when accompanying a soft guitar ...the sound Mclaughlin chose was horrible for the piece
Herbies solo was for a trio or quartet ..not when accompanying a soft guitar...Mclaughlin and Herbie got away with it because of their fame other musicians won't get their asses handed to them by the audience ...it would first and last performance
@@paulrhodesquinn what? I'm just corious to know what oh dear means, cuz I honestly have no idea, it sounds Bad, but i don't know what could possibly be Bad about that comment
@@ignacioclerici5341 The comment was pretentious and inaccurate. There is plenty of flow and logic in the performance. We're listening to two of the greatest improvisors in the history of Jazz here, particularly Herbie. Maybe the critic above should listen to more Jazz as well as Bach, then he might be able to make knowledgeable comments. Bach would almost certainly approved of this, being a great improvisor himself. Also, there is a massive difference between improvisation and composition. Peace.
@@paulrhodesquinn i understand, but what he said wasnt pretencious or Bad intencioned actually, You intérpreted that way cause You felt touched, maybe You are a jazz musician or jazz fan, It's very clear what he said, he longs for melodic structure, clear melodic structure like in Mozart Bach, Beatles etc, jazz is usually structureless in than sense, because it's mostly improv over scales, chords progressions, etc, nothing pretencious about it, Bach was a human, who wrote music, there is nothing pretencious about mentioning him, on the contrary its good that people know him and like him
I have never liked John's sound, it's to dissonant and shrill, like someone scrapping nails on a chalk board. WES MONTGOMERY HAD A BEAUTIFUL SOUND AND SO DID GRANT GREEN. HERBIE SOUNDS GOOD.
@@TR3NCII Not quite a noob. Sorry. I used to go to hear Evans in person in NYC when he first came on the scene . I just listened to this again while answering your reply, and I think it's shallower than I thought before. Hancock, with chops to burn, is only creating whiffs of smoke, no fire. Can't understand why the audience seems to like it. Noobs, perhaps?
The sound of that beautiful Gibson is muffled and ruined by some kind of ridiculous effect. Unfortunately many jazz guitarists think they have do the same.
How to ruin a composition -- neither of these guys understands Evans' harmony. They play this like they stumbled across it in the Real Book. Herbie can't wait to show off his little gimmicks which have nothing to do with anything but ego. If you don't get the suspension - resolve - tritone sub treatment, then you shouldn't try to play Evans' compositions. I studied privately with Evans' bass player Gary Peacock. We went deep on this stuff. Bill turns one chord symbol into a series of chords. You don't hear that at all here.
In other words, "if you cannot play a tune like Bill Evans, do not attempt to play it"??? That is an interesting thought process to take for someone who studied Jazz that deeply.
Beautiful .. utterly gorgeous - I could happily put this on a loop for several days and not get bored

John McLaughlin clearly demonstrating the purpose of the Bigsby. It is so integral to his sound that he can't be mistaken for anyone else.
What a great piece from two masters, they keep it edgy and exciting, very difficult tune.
Magnifique ❤

I feel Herbie comping like he’s playing with a singer... perfect blend piano guitar
STUNNING ,,2 GIANTS MEETING AND PLAYING HUMBLY FOR BILL ,,ANOTHER TRUE GIANT
Ascolto questo brano tante volte e magico come viene suonato e arrangiati da due grandissimi musicisti!!!!!!!
The sound quality is amazing, thank you.
All you Cats aside..you all wish you had either of these guys chops!!!!!
Wonderful playing
Sublime!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous
such critical people. It's too bad you are preventing yourself from seeing the true beauty that lies in this rendition
That was impeccably brilliant!

FANTASTIC
This is perfect.

... so beautiful ! ...
A wonderful pas de deux😊
Verdaderamente inspirador.
LOVE IT!!
And both have always done acoustic groups and albums beside their more electronic efforts!!
amazing!!!!!!!!!!
They have so different approach to the music that I couldn't imagine they could sound so good.Well,I was really wrong!

Tenho o DVD !!!
Very good !
素晴らしく、美しい
very nice ! ですね.
muy lindo loco !!!!!!!
I mean Watermelon man & Mahavishnu, on One of Bill Evan's most lovely tune,
what a beautiful sounding guitar...
awesome
They're stepping on each others toes..
yellowlght but their shoes protect their toes.

An Instagram post of this performance sent me. I was unaware of this performance.
que beleza,
Même un virtuose comme J Mc Laughlin ne peut rivaliser avec Herbie !
Belle Version ...Pas facile le duo guit/piano ....
John McLaughlin , most sensitive gitar player.
@jbenjaminwilson Lost their tone? I think someone has lost his mind..If anyone finds it email it to him and hurry. And if you happen to also find McGlaughlins pedals, then keep them because he didn't need them here either.
J M giving the melody to Mr Herbie. So generous.

Это есть хорошо
@brambau...
So what kind of tux are YOU wearing now?
what venue was this at?
Carnegie Hall
Cool bigsby super 400
Johnny Smith model, actually
The chorus no john no!!
Its just a poetic allusion but just to be sure Don't Turn Out The STARS!
CAPOS.
That period of Mclaughlin I hated the voicing he was into ..
Should've just played the L5 clean .
What happened is the piece is out of synch rather then accompany each other they're playing against each other...Herbie solos the same time Mclaughlin does drowinig out his guitar...the solo is great if it was just Herbie ...also they way Herbie soloed is for a quarter not when accompanying a soft guitar ...the sound Mclaughlin chose was horrible for the piece
yellowlght no
You don't say?
yellowlght You don’t say.

Sinceramente nunca me gusto…se pisan el uno al otro..más bien diría que herbie se mete constantemente en el solo de Mclaughlin
Herbies solo was for a trio or quartet ..not when accompanying a soft guitar...Mclaughlin and Herbie got away with it because of their fame other musicians won't get their asses handed to them by the audience ...it would first and last performance
putting the piano lid on half stick might have sorted it - the issue's more in the balance than the playing itself it seems to me.
Is that right?
mere theatrsics with surprising lack of sensitivity and listening. JM using his PRS rig with an archtop? too much piano sustain pedal.
Bullshit
Great technical playing, but I long for logical purposeful flow & composition. But then maybe I shouldn't listen to Bach so much.
oh dear
