I was fortunate enough as a teenager in the mid 70's to listen to a jazz radio station in my hometown. The station played everything from 50's bebop to the jazz/rock fusion that was current at time. I'll never forget hearing the most amazing drums on a record that was played on that station, the radio deejay announced the players and the drummer was Tony Williams. I was mesmerized, I just couldn't figure out what he was doing. That's when I said to myself, that's how I want to play drums....many years later, I still go back and listen to Tony Williams, not only my greatest inspiration, but truly one of the most inspirational drummers of all time. Thank You Tony Williams!!!!
Usual Tony Williams always thinking. Attacks his solo then attacks the attack... 🙂 No wonder Herbie thought so highly of him he always gave 1000%... R.I.P. Tony.
...and the rest of the world have to thanks the Japanese people to have honoured with great respect and passion the jazz musician, especially when they were in disguise because the music industry in their country forgot them.
@@magn8195 That was before all hope was lost. I was Gary Peacock's theory student at Cornish the year before the Jarrett gig. And he was also quite proactive about that kinda thing thinking it would protect their intere$ts. Jazz was already less than 3% of CD sales I believe 🤷. These days I think it's more like are you gonna get a good recording? Well ok, just give us a copy please.
You see Michel Petrucciani the late pianist looking at Herbie during his solo? He was the dwarfish looking guy abd a great musician inspired Charles Lloyd to cone out if retirement.
This was a literal super-group! That was a high level of playing and spirit in playing music. Awesomeness! These ancestors (except Ron Carter who is still living and making music) is an example to us all who are musicians and listeners with open ears.
Incredible !!! brings back some great memories. Thanks Paris 0820- you made my day!! Tony was and always will be the best ever, and this group brought out the best in him
Το καλύτερο jazz κουιντέτο όλων των εποχών. Δημιουργήθηκε το 1977 και κράτησε μια δεκαετία. Η σύνθεση του άλλαξε μόνο στα πνευστά. H βάση του παρέμεινε η ίδια. Έπαιζαν original συνθέσεις των μελών του. Όποιος ασχολείται με τη τζαζ τους ξέρει καλά. Ουσιαστικά πρόκειται για μια συνέχεια του θρυλικού δεύτερου κουιντέτου του Miles Davis. Το Eye of the hurricane περιλαμβάνεται στον δίσκο του Herbie Hancock στη Blue Note Maiden Voyage.
Caught this comments 4 years too late but how hilarious., Suggesting Hubbard is quoting from someone that had yet to pick up a trumpet at this time. If you have heard anything in Akinmusire's playing that sounded familiar here, ...well.... "what's up" is now you know who Ambrose was listening to while he was growing up!
i do not even think there is a solo on a jazz piece of music, it's like a dialogue, it has to be something like that, not a solo or a bunch of solo's all together, it's more like a dialogue about an specific theme ( usually the title and some choros, to say it simple)
I'm a bass player who really likes melody and soloing, I try to give the best, most interesting solos that I can; and I sometimes don't even want a solo. Sometimes we just feel like doing the heart of what our instrument does in Jazz, which is support.
I am GLAD Im not nor will I ever (willingly) be part of this "scene" Ill always be a Jazz fan though. It is unfortunate that (it seems that) EVERY style of music has its die hard followers / fans that politically control the atmosphere of these performances. These are musicians that play their instruments and (hopefully) work with others that they care to work with. It is an art form and nothing more. It is THEIR art they present to ALL who LISTEN to it. That IS all there is here: ART

man the way Tony comps with Herbie at 8:05 onwards is just incredible. what an incredible ear
I swear these guys have some group telepathy going on too
Let's not forget to give Joe Henderson his props.....BAD BOY !!!!
We Japanese should be proud that many of legendary performances of VSOP were played in Japan.
...and the rest of the world have to thanks the Japanese people to have honoured with great respect and passion the jazz musician, especially when they were in disguise because the music industry in their country forgot them.
I agree
In 1975 Tony saw me in the audience recording The New Tony Williams Lifetime and the tape was confiscated by the club owner. All is forgiven.
Wow! He saw you in the audience and so the owner confiscated the tape?

Anyone catch that Joe Hen quotes Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade at 1:21?! What?!
Sam Tobias - yes! Sweetness.. :)
Siiiiii. ;-)
Oh yes. Also Herbie playing what sounded like a quote of While My Lady Sleeps.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY WILLIAMS!
Brilliant beyond words
KILLIN indeed!!
So freaking amazing!
herbie and tony what a team
This was right after rock-it so i knew Herbie was going to be a star.
Tony Williams! The avant-garde Buddy Rich.....I miss them both! A force of nature with those single stroke flourishes. Gives me chills.
Haha michel spotted 7:08
yes
Mamma mia.....
Genius
Freddie's solo has some serious Ambrose moments in it! i'm serious....that's what's up!
Ambrose was literally 4 years old when Freddie played this solo...

Hell ya!! :)
Is this Michel Petrucciani on 7:03 ?
Yes.
Who is he with there?
6:51 whaaaa !!' 🔥
7:01 Respect
I’d like to see all of this live performance, where is it located?

フレディが最高にブロウしてる
bang
I think it's time to dedicate myself to selling cars and selling my battery : P
Or you cant search for the drum chart of this song an learn it
Just keep the camera on Tony please!!!
Why doesn't Ron Carter have a solo?
+Bruno C. Probably because most bass solos slow down the momentum of a tune. Especially in front of so many people, it wouldn't have the same effect.
+MrMaxSkorpion depends on the bass player bro.
+Bruno C. Ron Carter would have no problem improvising in time.
'Cause he's soloing the entire time! :) Best bop bassist of all time!!
I'm a bass player who really likes melody and soloing, I try to give the best, most interesting solos that I can; and I sometimes don't even want a solo. Sometimes we just feel like doing the heart of what our instrument does in Jazz, which is support.
mak!
ヘンダーソンバージョンは貴重。🙄
