great !! the very best version of the very best song of David Murray Octet - have this on LP since decades, here first time with moving pictures - thanks.
Saw the Octet several times that year; they were probably the best band I ever heard, and I've herd plenty. Thanks for posting this special performance.
All of David Murray's Black Saint records are great, this is an all star band with Dave Burrell and Craig Harris, who has many great records as a bandleader himself.
IMO David Murray is very overrated player,I've caught him live and on records since the early 80's. His Paul Gonsalves tribute concert in Boston 20 years ago was a joke. His abililites certainly don't merit him having one of the largest recorded outputs of any Jazz artist of the last couple of decades. A media darling early on when over-hyping new young saxophonists as the 2nd coming of Trane was commonplace. As a player he is not even close a Gary Thomas, Branford, Potter. When the critics would place a Chico Freeman or Murray above a Brecker in the Down Beat polls I'd just sit back and say WHAT!!!

Great Band!
Craig Harris‘ solo is outstanding.
Murray and Arthur Blythe were two musicians that I loved in the 80s
One of the most exciting, fun songs I've ever heard. Takes me back decades... Love David Murray!!
I wore this record out. New Life. Rest in power, Mr. Peterson.
Always like this composition, good album version, even more joyous live with this Octet !

Perfect with my morning coffee!
Or my evening brewski!
It might be Craig Harris. He played trombone on David Murray's Octet release Hope Scope in 1987.
it most definitely is Craig.
