Bob was a complex guy. His father was Jewish and his mother Italian. He grew up in downtown Bensonhurst. He loved his huge drift vessel, a good Cuban cigar smuggled from a friend of his, a little 'yac', and a lot of Sinatra. In the middle of his life he met Arja, and he calmed down, had two wonderful children and became a devoted father and husband. He went to live in East Hampton, where he began fishing seriously between tours. He also loved the saxophone and jazz music, on which he concentrated his formidable intellect. The combination of his intellect, working through the prism of his formative years and his lifestyle and daily environment, brought down to us a passionate, yet merciless conception. Playing he literally put your back to the wall, and then tore you and the wall together. You had to fight and respond with all your might when you were on stage with Berg ... he never said it specifically ... he demanded it through his instrument. That's what it's been like to play with Bob Berg all these years ... he made me play better, he imbued me with his style ... he marked my soul forever. This is what I will miss most about Bob ... the incredible merciless and fearless, yet passionate, sound of his sax. Yet I am convinced that I will feel him again, day after day, year after year, every time I think about him ... I will feel him .. I know I will feel him ". (Randy Brecker, trumpet player)
I watched this priceless concert on videocassette There was no internet back then God bless whoever uploaded this video to youtube Bob Berg is my teacher But he doesn't know I'm his student 🎷❤️👍🏼
Such a stellar group of musicians, seemingly at the height of their power! Although at this level the power jus seems to become ever more palatable! RIP CHICK!❤🙏
I love the acoustic music of Chick Corea, especially with this quartet. Bob Berg is much-missed and always sounded as though he was trying hard to be original. Sure you can hear the influence of earlier masters like Coltrane, Shorter and Henderson in his playing but Bob always sounded like himself. In the early 90s I got to see Bob's own quartet touring in Europe, an unforgettable experience! A great upload-thanks a lot.
I first heard Berg with Chick. When i finally got around to listening to Bergs own music, I was confused, I was expecting it to be somewhat in the vain of Time Warp. His own stuff doesnt quite do it for me, but boy is he the right fit for that Chick album
1. Waltse For Dave 2. Sicily 3. Quartet No.1 4 Quartet No. 2 Part 1 5. Piano Improv - Quartet No. 2 Part 2 6. Encore: Straight, No Chaser (incomplete) Gadd must've been in a flat ride phase at that time. Interesting. Great concert!!
Many drummers when playing with Chick use a flat ride, because Chick loves it. Roy Haynes gave Chick the flat ride he used on Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, and that same one appeared on Light as a Feather and others.
Berg was so powerful ... i'm so sorry he left too early. i saw him live two times in the late eighties with Stern the late great Jeff Andrews on bass and Dennis Chambers, unforgettable gigs
Thank you for posting this great video. I attended Berklee College of Music and graduated with a performance degree on Tenor sax in "97. I studied much of Bob Bergs music and he will always be missed along with Michael Brecker.
Steve Gadd, Eddie Gomez!! Doesn't get any better than this. Bob Berg with that nice dark rich "Henderson" tone, ripping through those solos. HAIL TO THE CHICK!!
This seems dark to you? Comically, Berg's sound is considered pretty much as bright as it gets. Dark would be someone like Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster or Stan Getz.
Chick Corea, you are a 'master musician'. This concert is 'smokin'!! I wish I had attended. All the musicians performing represent the ultimate in music!!! Bob Berg; your horn is sangin'!!!!
world please take care of your musicians we are fickle,curious, and soft as butter with are emotions all we have to give the world is our sound and soul without you there is no me. keep playn
I was lucky enough to take some sax lessons with him; totally down to earth (loved fishing), especially after he has left heroin behind. Used to see him at Morganelli’s loft, with Cedar Walton, up at the West End (I think that was the club by Columbia). But the elsewhere poster is correct that the 3 Quartets lp was with Brecker. There is a live recording the Blue Note where those compositions are revisited (a with Brecker).
Corea and Berg are both geniuses. Bob could have delivered so much more beautiful music if was not killed in that bloody accident. we lost him in his prime. thanks for sharing this marvelous music!
God! I mean, Gadd! Bob Berg was a terrific tenor giant, sorely missed. Eddie Gomez is wonderful as usual which is why Bill Evans used him so much, and Chick stays in the top ten of all time in jazz piano.
R.I.P. Chick! Thank you for the album My Spanish Heart which allowed me to discover you 40 years ago, thank you for Three Quartets album that I listen and listen again, thanks for the tune Lifeline, thank you for the concert that I saw at the Blue Note on November 5th 2016 while I came especially from Paris for that show, thank you for your solo on Sicily on that video that I can hear during hours, thank you for your so great feeling when you are on the piano. You are a genius !
@@Osnosis During october and november 2016, Chick Corea played at Blue Note during 6 weeks. He celebrated his 75th birthday by performing with over 20 different bands. The goal was to retrace his career. Each band played 2 or 3 days. I wanted to see the show dedicated to Three Quartets LP which is a masterpiece. Steve Gadd and Eddy Gomez were there. I don't remember the name of the tenor sax. I didn't know him. He was quiet young compare to the trio. May be he was like 35.
@@MrYvm Maybe Chris Potter or Donny McCaslin. I think it was Potter. I was lucky enough to be front row at Symphony Hall for the original band with Mike Brecker; out of this world.
I had the good fortune to see Bob Berg performing live in February 1992 @ Teatro nacional in the Dominican Republic. I remember he introduce his Drummer as the Best in the world, this guy put of a show. i don't remember his name. RIP Bob.
Bob Berg. Michael Brecker. Wilton Felder (RIP); Ernie Watts. Shawn Wallace: virtuosic jazzicians, each with a "mean" saxophone in hand. Oh, how I do miss Bob, Mike and Wilton!
Is this correct?? All pieces are composed by Chick Corea Side oneEdit "The One Step" - 6:05 "Waltse for Dave" - 7:32 "Children's Song No. 5 - 1:15 "Samba Song" - 10:00 Side twoEdit "Friends" - 9:26 "Sicily" - 6:15 "Children's Song #15" - 1:10 "Cappucino" - 8:39
Saw Bob at Quasimodo Jazz Club in Berlin during 1990s...he was 100% serious about playing out. I do not think he is overshadowed at all, he is a giant and those who care keep him close.
Do you have New Birth, his late 70s (I think) debut? If so, I'd highly encourage you to develop a digital version and post it here on the Tube... Still looking for a couple of the tracks on that Album. I've heard Neptune and Carpets, and they are 2 of my favorite recordings of all time, and I don't say that lightly.

なんという豪華なメンバーでしょうか。
ボブもチックも亡くなられてしまいました。本当に素晴らしい才能の持ち主でした。
そういえば、二人はいわゆる「マイルス・スクール」の出身なんですよね。
Thirty-one years ago, and it sounds so fresh. That's how great music works.
This group is nuts!!! What a gorgeous sound from all. It's mesmerizing....

brilliant piece of jazz, thanks for the upload!

sounds like u need to grow especially your ears...
Bob Mrk If you had ears you'd know how great they are.
vacakpocok music from heaven
Music from heavenly voices.
Great lineup! Gomez really makes the upright sing!
God! I mean, Gadd! Bob Berg was a terrific tenor giant, sorely missed. Eddie Gomez is wonderful as usual which is why Bill Evans used him so much, and Chick stays in the top ten of all time in jazz piano.
Some of the true giants in jazz giving us a great concert...Thank-You.
RIP BOB.
Eddi uno de los mejores contrabajistas
I LOVE how lyrically Eddie plays on Waltz For Dave!
I'm in awe by it
Thank you for sharing this excellent concert. I miss Bob Berg so much.

Rest in peace
I concur .. Bob and Michael are greatly missed.
Please God ,stop killing Jazzmen
They'll be back.
@@trestresbrel Heaven is full of Jazz
Chick never runs out of ideas & neither does Eddie Gomez. Bob Berg is such an intense earnest player. Gadd...rad!
That performance on Sicily never fails to give me goosebumps. The sheer power of everyone's musical performance is outstandingly outrageous!
Beautiful love Bob 🥰
