Somehow this spontaneous, raw and vulnerable setting makes it better that hearing the recorded versions which are almost sterile from the magic they create here. Excellent job by all!
What?!!? No Autotune!!??!! How are you supposed to perform?? I am a male and I still want Mark Russo's children. Man crush. All kidding aside.... My first exposure to him was in high school while listening to "The Spin" and "Shades". The guy can do more in the altissimo register than most are capable of in the stack. And his musical vocabulary is just astounding. Musically, he just doesn't make bad decisions on his solos. I have two saxophone heroes, Paul Desmond - and understated and deft touch produce some of the sweetest musical sentences and phrases you'll ever hear. The other one is Mark Russo. The man plays with authority, dexterity, in your face, and listening to that man work on a saxophone is its own reward. Sometimes even the music business (a.k.a. "record companies") can not keep a good musician down. (In spite of their best efforts to the contrary.)
World class effort, guys! Literally, an explosion of raw talent on display. I would expect Mr. Hancock would approve of this musical appraisal of one of his seminal works.
The bassist snagged that solo from the acoustic guitar player (debatably) and then no one gave the acoustic 6 string a solo after, ya bastards! Just kidding, amazing jam guys!
I think there's two time in this jam session that when Mr D'Agostino started soloing, the other players steps in the way and also start soloing. And Mr D'Agostino is backing off immediately, letting that other players finish their solos. I search this video from start to finish that maybe I skipped the part when he did his soloing, and no solos from him and the drummer. Maybe they got their solo spot on another tune on this session. But if there's none, than maybe this is not really a good jam session.
Returned to hear Russo’s alto solo. Brilliant...melodic, emotion, surprise, power, fun. Fantastic.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say Zawinul & Cannonball would give this a thumbs up!
Holy cow Russo is something special! Love him in yellow jackets!
Nice to hear Marc Russo playing. Love his Sound and Style 🎷😀
I'm a sax player. Him and Paul Desmond are my Gods.
@@NicholasKrise Bird ?
He's just not grabbed me yet.
("Yet" being the keyword in that sentence.)

That's the SNL sax sound that makes my neck hairs stand at attention. Alas no more, but this guy captured it perfectly circa 1977.
Best version of "Mercy, mercy" ever! Zawinul would highly be pleased! Everyone of this combo does a magnificient job!!
Love Marc's sound. So smooth and legit and has a bite to it when he wants to....thanks for sharing this!!!

That was a great Jackie King solo. And listening to Russo, old Yelowjacket memories came flooding back. Beautiful stuff all round.
Great stuff all around. Always enjoy Marc Russo's playing...
brb guys I need to go practice my altissimo
this is amazing. that guitarist! with the hat!!! he is amazing and so is the saxophonist
Really enjoyed that! Nice to see string bass for a change.
Marc Russo!!!! Wow,! Nice sound and great licks!
Goddam right; finally! A group that knows have to do this song justice.
Russo is so good. Effortless technique and marvelous phrasing, timing and breath control.
Effortless because he’s put so much effort into his craft
Exactly-brilliant player!
Such a pleasure to listen to good pros !
Haha the face of the saxophonist @6:32 says it all -> Lovely e-guitar solo man! :)
Marc I pick up my horn every time I hear you. Good stuff. K

Everyone involved is dynamite. What a nice thrown together version.
this is great and beautiful unique lovely tones from all the musicians
Thank you for making this a wonderful break for me!

You mean Mr. Zawinul?
Perhaps you mean Joe Zawinul?
Love this stuff , great music
Very nice great to see and hear live musicians
Grreat solo Mr.King...Amazing!! Blessings and Joy!
Gran solo de saxo , gran sonido y perfecta ejecución, grande Marc Russo 👍😜🎷
This is amazing! love it!
I guess you’re not ready for this... but your Great-Great Grandkids are gonna love it.
yooooo that sax solo was way too good
Extremely fine version of Zawinuls creation. Russo (solo & @Yellowjackets) is great, has personal sound, amazing. Rare variation, 100 points, BINGO!
very different groove (better, IMO) than the other version on the site. I love this song, so it's great to hear many different interpretations
Great music, just love it.
Wonder who chose to do it in E
YES,, JUST WOW... New fan here, wish I could jam with them...
Marc russo é de outro mundo, o solo é tão impressionante que ele faz parecer fácil!
Real nice sounding music...
哇咧!!! 一首「Mercy Mercy Mercy」 Jam session被玩成這樣，真的、真的、真的......太爽了......Specially like Jackie King's session. Excellent!!!

They're racist against drummers.
Def not the tune for a drum solo
