This was a concert in Berklee back in the late 1980s. There is a high quality version of this in the Berklee library. I watched the full concert in the library when I was a student there.
I was at this gig in 1988, they came in and did a whole week of master classes in the BPC. Teachers were encouraging us to blow off classes and go to these master classes and we would learn a lot more....they were not wrong. Emily was the star that week what a tragedy that she did not live a lot longer as she was a voice of the future.
If to these extraordinary musicians we add Metheny, Eubanks, Stern and Roos we would have those who, starting initially from rock, has marked the history of jazz/fusion guitar not only in Boston and in the USA, since the early eighties. It must have been a pleasure for those who attended Berklee COllege in Boston at the time.
Abercrombie was the first of the great noodlers. You can hear his influence on Scofield. Jim Hall probably started the light guage string aproach to jazz guitar.
@@jbharms1 this is not true. Sco has awsome technique, and knows very well how to play in the classic jazz vocabulary, but he was much more interested in going ahead.
@@jbharms1 I was actually surprised by how classical Sco's solo started out. You rarely hear him swinging so hard as he usually doesn't really play straight eighths.
Yeah, I was hoping someone might have a little more information on it, like what was this? Just some concert at Berklee for the benefit of the students and someone recorded it? And I wonder if anyone has a real high quality original.
Jim Kelly is great, if we're talking about the one of the Australian band Crossfire! No one talks about him that much. Appreciate seeing him mentioned!
I think I made a comment on this video some long time ago. Just came across it again. I was a Berklee student late 70's, early 80's, and heard all these players live numerous times. Missing from the group that would fill it out better, would be Mike Stern, Pat Metheny, Kevin Eubanks, & Randy Roos. Add all them together, that was "The" Boston jazz/fusion guitar sound from that era. Real popular style back then. None of them used a regular jazz box, nor a wound G string. Coming from a rock perspective, attempting to blow some jazz. They did a great job. But still, missed out on the actual jazz guitar sound. Every single one of them. As if they were trying to sound like Coltrane or Bird, using a #1 reed. That won't get it done. Never will.
Who is that person that begins to solo around the 4:45 point? It looks like it's a chic in a dress! Almost looks like an androgenous Pat Metheny! Whoever he/she is they are brilliant as are all the players featured in this jam!

John Abercrombie is a BEAST.
Amazing EMILY!!!! My goodness she was soooo GOOD.
Wow, Mick's solo is amazing. Well, they're all amazing, but watching his mind at work is a special joy.
Emily Remler's solo was awesome!
Emily Remler's scream at 6:14 over dropping the line is possibly the most relatable feeling in the world. Love the playing in this
Very musical solo from her!
The only one still with us is Scofield. 😥
Remler is amazing...
Great stuff! Everybody using so many cool rhythmic ideas! :)
For sure! Love ya Jens!
Yes, but how about melodic ideas ? They seem to be rather sparse, here. It sounds like scale exercises, for the most part.
Uou ❤️
Mick playing outside the box,,, plus the Steinberger guitar tone sounds amazing!!

John Abercrombie - badass!!!
Emily we will never ever forget you 🙏🏾 Stage full of Berklee legends. Thank you for uploading this.
Great Abercrombie!!
Mick, still speaks another language. best
" The Best of the Best .. The Great Jazz Guitar Player Era ". .. So' Good ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
The line Scofield dropped on the trading 4’s.! - Awesome.!

Awesome story! I missed this show by 2 years! I got there in 90' in time for the Jack DeJohnette Doctorial Concert!
Wow a great time to be at Berklee, any idea/remembrance of who the basist and drummer where ?
Remler rocked it.
abercrombie is the master...
He plays some really great stuff!
They are all great. Abercrombie and Scofield, are cut from the same cloth, fluid, melodic, clever, musical.
I have to agree with all the Emily remler solos were amazing here comments. She really lived the jazz and she was gone far far too soon ..
I saw this concert and it was just amazing! I think it was titled a jazz guitar summit.
still love your music!
Mick Goodrick is so different sounding......he’s Yoda
Sco's eighth note's win in the swing department
If to these extraordinary musicians we add Metheny, Eubanks, Stern and Roos we would have those who, starting initially from rock, has marked the history of jazz/fusion guitar not only in Boston and in the USA, since the early eighties.

Great show. Everyone is amazing!
Sco is my man, but Crumbs played a great solo too - I wish he wouldn't have stopped playing with a pick...RIP, bro - your playing lives on.
So you have now a sacred mission: obtain a copy of this recording. You must go back to the school with a laptop and duplicate the holy concert!!
youuuuu areeee the promises of springtiiiiime
sco sco scofield !.!.
so good, so deep, spiritual, divine
Wow, musically wins Mick (for me), but everyone played great and it was really fun how they swing differently
Considering that most of those guys studied theory and concepts with him at one point or another I completely agree.
Just saw this and I couldn't agree more. They're all iconic, but I seemed to lose the harmonic center with everyone but Mick!
johnny a @johnny s--just astounding!!!!!!!!
Its 'a chorus line' ;)
Mick is the most cerebral musician i ever met. Check his unique take on theory, practice and life.
Great playing all around.
Legendary!
God Bless Emily , God Damn Heroin.
WOW!!
wow didn't know there was such concert
Yes, pay 35,000 dollars a year tuition and you get a concert like this.
all 4 guitar players are great. there is no favorite or competition. no reason or way to discern whos better. just enjoy the music....
Emily Remler lo mejor , sutileza expresion bluenote escuela de Montgomery
@10:54 did anyone else catch the figure Goodrick was playing. Man just busts out some polyrhythmic figure out of nowhere hahaha.
mein geburtstag :)
legends all
Threefold john scofield Hail!!!!
Excelent .
mick.
Super Guitar...
Goodrick for the win.
really cooks!
Abercrombie was the first of the great noodlers. You can hear his influence on Scofield. Jim Hall probably started the light guage string aproach to jazz guitar.
excelente ...
todos magnificos
what a pressure playing a solo after scofield ...
Sco is so Great, but Emily speaks the classic jazz vocab far more effortlessly than the others, sco included.
@@jbharms1 this is not true. Sco has awsome technique, and knows very well how to play in the classic jazz vocabulary, but he was much more interested in going ahead.
@@jbharms1 I was actually surprised by how classical Sco's solo started out. You rarely hear him swinging so hard as he usually doesn't really play straight eighths.
aaaaggghhhhhh! 6:14
The Emily roar!
7:08 amazing intro by goodrick also the rest of the chorus crew too bahaha
I know who the great Emily Remler is but can someone help me with the other great guitarists in the order they played? Thanks.
chorus : 1 : john abercrombie 2 : john scofield 3 : emily 4 : mick goodrick
Thanks
Crumbs, Sco, Mick Goodrick.
Yeah, I was hoping someone might have a little more information on it, like what was this? Just some concert at Berklee for the benefit of the students and someone recorded it? And I wonder if anyone has a real high quality original.
Do you know anything about a concert with John Abercrombie and Jim Kelly?
Jim Kelly is great, if we're talking about the one of the Australian band Crossfire! No one talks about him that much. Appreciate seeing him mentioned!
I'm with Sco
Abercrombie 0:43
Scofield 2:21
Remler 4:30
Goodrick 7:08
Trades 9:19
!!!
scofield is a beast !!!
Looks like Berklee Performance center
Amazing ! anyone happen to know who the drummer and bassist where ?
I’m not 100% sure it’s so grainy. But if I had to guess I’d say Rich Appleman on bass and Bob Gullotti on drums.
@@gabrielnoonan5081 Marcello Pellitieri dr and Dave Clark bs
Anyone who puts musicians down is obviously NOT a musician. Let the music do the talking and let's have less comment by people who don't know.
Kevin Haines Kev! This is a great video. Thanks for the link. Watched it many times...
ja ja ja

Line Up quote at 4:05
is that recording warbled, or is it just that shit tone they used?
mick play a lot on the beat on this track
I wonder what Joe Pass would say about theses players.
Joe knew all of these guys and there was mutual respect all around.
They would have asked him to play last, lol
Bass player looks like Dave Clark.
Kids stuff. Are these students?
A mi me han gustado la mina y el gordo de la boina de cuero con la raspa de pescado encordada...¡buenísimos todos!...
Yeah guys, let's look at the chart to play All the things you are pffffff 😂
Who is that person that begins to solo around the 4:45 point? It looks like it's a chic in a dress! Almost looks like an androgenous Pat Metheny! Whoever he/she is they are brilliant as are all the players featured in this jam!
she is (was ;( ) emily remler.
Emily remler, probably one of the best out there
Emily also plays great 8ths, but I think Emily’s motifs and figures win this jam.
The wonderful Emily Remler. Very bad cat, gone far too soon.
Someone needs to tell Abercrombie how much better he plays with a pick instead of his thumb/fingers approach!
EH MANCA SOLO PAT METHENY
I think they could improve their playing by introducing some bends.. ^
Knopfler is better
