In this video, Bob is playing an SBA Selmer tenor, Joe is on a Mk Vl. In 1985 , Joe was playing a Selmer SA80 tenor and Bob Berg was playing a Selmer Mk VI. Both observations make me think this is earlier than 1985, perhaps closer to 1980.
Another amazing video treasure! Three tenor sax giants. I was surprised to see Joe Farrell. He passed in around 1986 at age 48, or so I thought. On this ‘85 video he is playing strong and beautifully. I love all three of these immortals. Im not certain who the drummer is. Do you know?
Great video, Thank you SO much for posting. A rare treat. .... None of them sound comfortable playing this blues. From the date, it looks like Joe died a year after this video. Sad, all 3 are gone. Fortunately I got to see all 3 play. Legends RIP.
I saw Joe Henderson and Joe Farrell live before, but not Bob Berg! They all sound great! But for me, the definitive version will always be the original with Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane!
Joe Henderson came to my house in the 80s ..My dad was a well known saxophone repairer and player..I managed to speak to him very briefly.Joe told me although he was considered one of the best that he knew more about Johnny cash than Charlie Parker..amazing
It would be nice, at some point, if you could do a video on the making of Rhythmstick, the documentary and album, which Bob Berg and Phil Wood took part in. It was an extraordinary session.
We need more Joe Farrell videos!
Absolutely. An unsung hero.
.@@JazzVideoGuy He and Grossman are two that inspired me to choose tenor when transferring from clarinet. Joe was an underrated flautist, as well.
Yes we do indeed!!!
Joe Henderson, my favorite!! 🔥
Joe Farrell solo, the best!!!
He has always been one of my favorite players.
👍Wow Tenor Madness Love Joe Henderson 💯🎷, Bob was killing it & Joe Ferrell was doing he thing.🎷🎷🎷outstanding.

Another great treasure !!!
It sure is!
Rest In peace to all 3 legends.
Thank you, Jazz Video, (RIP, Joe, Joe F., and Bob.)
You never know what Joe Henderson is going to play next
Most unpredictable

At the beginning of the clip it litteraly says Madrid 83'
Joe Farrell, awesome!!!
Truly. He always played at a very high level.
1:34: Berg quotes “Matrix”. Quite a triumvirate! RIP to them all.
Also: Joe Farrell would be dead in less than a year after this video was recorded. Unreal.
Just Great. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for listening
A wonderful document of 3 late greats
Yes it was!

It looked to me like it wss Louis Hayes on drums.

Great footage of 3 tenor monsters, with a burning rhythm section!
Oh yeah!
Tremendos!
Yess!! Love it!!
Un año antes de la muerte de Joe Farrell, ya estaba enfermo en ese momento. Geniales los 3!!

Nice, a bit of suspect harmony in there between the saxes at the beginning 🤣
Joe Farrell had the best time/feel on that night.
Joe was a monster musician who left us too soon.
Exactly what I needed right now
Excellent, all videos from the channel 🎉🎉❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
I have molten glass by J Farrell and of c Joe H is a Titan
Yessss!
Crazy good fun ..love it
Glad you enjoyed it

Great recording.
@@JazzVideoGuy There is a full video of the Rhythmstick session with interviews, etc. I have a copy if you all cannot find it....
Thank you! @@elgeedublu
Is that a Selmer Soloist long shank Henderson is playing? Thought he played a short shank....
Given the surrounding excitement, the tempo did not fail to soar..
Anybody knows the bassist?
🤙
Who’s the drummer?
Luis Hayes?
Well I listen to the first 2 minutes and I'm still waiting for the rhythm section to decide where they're going to put it
Nefis
It's the bass player I don't know you know it can't be perfect all the time so I'm not mad
Tempo nicely speeding up during the performance. Even professionals have their flaws...
All these guys are on longer with us. But if they were, they would be executed along with General Milley.
Can we all move on from selmer now PLEASE!! that horn more than it time in the sun. Js.
The piano must be tuned 442 Hertz ((or more) I don’t like that.
In general, I think the tempo is too fast. But apart of that: Fantastic!
