Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker and John Scofield Play the Music of Sade 

Jazz lovers always love Sade ...

I fuggin love Herbie Hancock, the man is a national treasure

I was at this gig, in fact I even made it to the afternoon soundcheck before the actual concert, I wanted to make sure I got a front row seat! However, now I realize the young and not-enough-aware version of me didn't properly understand this miracle here. Probably felt the vibe, yes, but today I am _listening_ at last! Thanks for posting!

When masters play, there are no cracks in the walls- no idleness or wasted moments - a wave of music that pleases all the senses .

Dr. Hancock is a National Treasure.

This is beyond belief ensemble playing.

Sade is a Jazz Singer at Heart. And Mr. H.H. is a Legend.

What a band...Jack de Johnette ripping it! Dave Holland unmovable on that acoustic bass!!! Daaaamn

Herbie's face when Brecker really gets going...priceless!

The interplay between Scofield and Herbie is exceptional, the way Herbie echoes Scofield’s phrases while ever intruding on Scoflield’s solo.

Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette part of the rhythm section as well

Also GREATNESS in the rhythm section with #DaveHolland #JackDeJohnette and #DonAlias! Herbie always gets the greatest musicians to play with him.

I can't stop thinking about Miles and Jimi and the art they would have put out. Would have been something special. Ijs

Nice shirt Mr. Guy. The whole band was killing it. Jack DeJohnette was holding it down so nicely.

Jazz Video Guy, I love you man.... I get a better education on jazz from you than I did at school which lied to me a great deal about where this music came from. Thank you!

Sade is completely original and mesmerizing

This is a gorgeous rendition of the original Sade tune.

Saw this band in Madrid in whatever year. Stood right at the front as Brecker blew the place apart! An amazing night by any standard!! July 1997

There is something about Herbies’ approach that really sets him apart from all other players, the constant innovation, playing outside keys , those lush harmonics…and that’s just from me , a drummer, then there’s Scofield, every bands’ dream guitarist, and Jack , such musicality….

This is what's cool about both Jazz and Rock idioms A Great tune is a Great tune and both genres can take a Great tune and Develop it in so many ways ..Excellent

Jack DeJohnette was on fire that night!

The thought of what Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis would have created together is something I've pondered for decades since I heard of it. It would have been truly amazing

IMO Michael Brecker is one step ahead in the quality of his solo. Stunning!

Sade is a classy singer and I like her voice and performance. Don't know how she is doin right now...I hope well!! What a great version of a great song performed by the best musicians...All Masters!!

Tragic that Miles DIDN'T manage to play/record with Jimi!!!

I know (The Heavy Ones), When I hear them, and yes they are here. This may be my first time, but I can't say "never". (MIND BLOWING ME TONIGHT).

I love this commentaires Sir ... and I love that shirt so much I will try to get the same with your permission , and tank you very much for this beautiful music and musicians.

This is special.... Herbie is such a wise soul and unmistakable in his playing, this band are on top form here, and all of them are greats in their own right..... thanks for another amazing musical journey.

Listening to Schofield reminds me that, like Jeff beck, he's guitarist whose tone is in his hands.

Dave Holland is the metronome!

I found that album The New Standard about 4 years ago while expanding my listening to go back to jazz (grew up listening and hearing a ton) it's a great album but I love this live performance great tune!

wow.....pure magic for sure

What a fantastic tribute to Sade, that these jazz giants made their version of Her song! She is my favorite, although I am a jazz guy;)

Dejonette and, Alias are outstanding here!

❤ what more can we say one night I saw a Pat Metheny and he said Lyal maze is an innovator. That’s what we have to say about Herbie. He is an innovator.

This what you get when you put the masters together with great material..this should be a touchstone for younger musicians to show what it takes to reach the rarified air.. you also realize Michaels passing left a huge hole that has never been replaced.. this so awesome.. speechless

Wonderful seeing those stars doing a Sade song. Never knew of this. 👌🏾

OUT ! What a super band ! Thanks for posting

Excellent well matured musicians at their best. Perfect interplay . Herbie Hancock ,suberb .The band top notch .

my god... what a stellar band, stellar rendition... thank you ❤

Sade is a whole lane of music that doesn’t really have a category. It’s just good music.

Loved Michael Brecker back in the day. In the late 80s early 90s~just a master~great band

Superb! Radical, masterful, surround and with such musicality.

OMG guys!! You're on fire!! FANTASTIC!!

I LOVVVVVE hearing and truly appreciate when the "music gods" come out to play.

Thank you jazz guy! That was a lot of fun listening Herbie list off his inspirations and influences

What a pleasure to see and listen Brecker (also Herbie and that superb lineup, of course!). But I follow Michael since '70s . Thank You for sharing.

What a smart beautiful man

Feels like Milt Jackson's Sunflower, got that warm easy swing going on.

Wow, just wow. PERFECTION!

Killing groove! 🍷😎

thank you for this very nice story. To the person who wrote the subtitles of Herbie speaking, when Herbie mentions the musiciens he apreciates, it is Sly Stone (from the lengendary band" Sly and the Familly Stone") and not "sliced Stone"as it s writen in the subtitles.

sublime, thanks JVG.

Love these players

What a melanche of astronomic creativity! Everyone of them is one of a kind!!! So amazing how they all inspire one another! That's how the master play their instrument and how they do music! I love it! Thanks a lot for sharing! It is pure entertainment to watch, in particular if you are also a musician! Cheers DimiZ

Thank you so much for the video 👏🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

I bought this when it first came out and have always loved this album, the lesson is jazz players like these can really enhance great pop songs . Non jazz people should give this one a listen , in for a surprise and sade will love it too, the great Michael brecker rip wonderful , he always had a link to pop music

Glad someone reviewed that superband rendition. Just smooth!!

Здоровья Здоровья и Здоровья!!!

This made my day! Thank you for sharing 🇨🇦

This is sweet to the ear❤❤❤

A really great bit of musical education from Herbie, and a wonderful piece of jazz from great musicians! Thanks so much for posting this, Bret.

Genius!!!!!

Pure Herbie! Great videos as always.

Jazz supergroup lineup. Thanks for sharing this JVG.

What a band my god !

Semejante grupo de estrellas sólo puede dar como resultado muy buen jazz. ..

What a group!

This Is Fantastic! Thank You. Subbed.

Great!! Thanks for posting once again!

Well 1st off, thank you Jazz Video Guy!! Great videos from you, and especially this one!! It’s quite certain most, if not all jazz pianist, keep an eye on what Herbie’s up to. The guy has such an amazing contribution, not only to the jazz genre, but really to listening ears all over the world regardless of styles. My personal favorite of Herbie are the recordings he did w/ the late Jaco Pastorius (Speak like a Child) etc. Also, Scofield.. WOW! time won’t allow me to go there,but when you mix Sco w/ Dennis Chambers.. OMG! Ok jazz vid. Guy.. love what ya do👍👍👍 Ps.. Michael Brecker! Absolutely SUPERB! (We all miss him)

Great music like this transports you into another dimension that is unmistakably beautiful.

Wow That's awesome 😊

DREAM 👑 team ! 💎

Coming from Herbie an innovative pioneer speaks volumes.

So good!

I never really Schofield had such depth until about 10 yrs ago. Nice work

MAGIQUE , GRAZIE MILLE !😊

Just pure class I mean 🌎 class JAZZ will Never Die just live on just listen to greatness

I prefer Herbie's attitude because he's looking to connect with people outside of what he does while staying true to his roots.

Brilliant!

The Masters of the Art of Creating Wonderful 🎶 Music 🎵...Thank You Sir for your Connections with the Greats..BTW your Background reminds me of the Chief's Backyard on 77th...Great setting for telling your Stories...BRAVO... CapriceK

Edifying and incredibly enjoyable. Thanks!

this is pure gold! I especially enjoyed Brecker's solo over Herbie's crazy comping.

Music...real life that people can't get to.

Many thanks for this very enjoyable clip JVG, of these great players whipping up a storm. Just delightful to see great Jazz.

Lively ad just about always, Bret!!!

saw scofield in 76 ,playing with cobham duke band ,great licks,alphonso johnson,played the stick.

Herbie is one of the all time Jazz greats. However, I'm shocked that he didn't mention Les Paul in regards to the formation of R'N'R. Sure, Hendrix was an innovator but Mr. Paul INVENTED the instrument he chose to make that statement with and multitrack recording which was used to record, arguably, Hendrix's biggest hit 'Purple Haze'. I'm always astounded at how many amazing musicians fail to recognize that man's invaluable contributions to music including his albums.

🙏❤🌹 Don & Michael 🌹❤🙏

Great.

Thank you!

Since I love both I will probably go nuts 😂🥳😂🥳

Harmonic ingenuity; usage of substitute chords; melodic voicing of orchestral complexity; rhythmic d

Great Video Bret!!!

At 1:05 Herbie had not considered Jeff Beck as a truly innovative, powerful influence on the type of guitar playing he speaks of. Of course, Jimi was incredible, but as early as the mid '60s, Jeff started to explore that sound (as well as all those 'effects', etc.) and influenced many guitarists for generations ever since, including even Jimi to some extent. When Chas Chandler first brought Jimi to England (where he quickly became famous with his band 'The Experience'), Jimi expressed a great desire to meet Jeff immediately. Jeff probably didn't get the recognition he so well deserved likely because of his desire to stick with mostly 'instrumental' (in fact 'fusion') music, for so many decades.

I thought for a moment that Herbie was playing music by the Marquis de Sade ☺️

I can't go past The River, Herbie's tribute to Joni Mitchell.

Wow...Ting ting ting tong

Sade está re buena
