Manhattan project. Stanley Clarke, Lenny White, Wayne Shorter, Michel Petrucciani 

The pianist ruled this band. The chick was iconaclastic.

@netunof Done. I didn't know about this fix pin functionality earlier, but now I do.😀 Thanks!

What a Wonderful Performance, the Bass and Piano to Goodbye Pork Pie Hat were awesome, Summertime another unprecedent sound, out of this universe! Fantastic musicians clamps to everyone!🙌👍🤝👏👏👏

@@andyokus5735 She is avant-garde, pushing the boundaries in an interesting way. Casual listeners might not dig it, but the hip cats will.

@@jerrylev59 she is a he.

That’s amazing!! I’ve been listening to this recording since I was a kid and just discovered it on RU-vid today. What an honest treat!!

Yes, such a great solo, must transcribe.

They all figured out the same thing

Right on!

Agreed!

Hands down!

I'm amazing bye the man

His a fucking machine before machines even existed 😳

Mr Petrucciani was indeed a Great Pianist 😃

When I was a child in the 50's my friends and I weren't interested in rock'n roll: we had better, more interesting things to do. We did get our parents to buy rippled-soled desert boots and luminous socks. We'd say: "See you later alligator, in a while crocodile," but we didn't listen to the music: boring. No favourite groups, no posters on the wall, no adulation, no forming cliques and ridiculing others with different tastes. Later, I got interested in pop, rock 'n roll and jazz; taught myself to play drums; bought a Slingerland and played in 60/40 bands, built up a jazz records collection. But in 1971, I heard Wagner's, "Tristan and Isolde." What a revelation. Threw my jazz records in the bin. Built up a classical collection, only to give it away years later: no one appreciates that stuff! Don't go there. You're just setting yourself up for feeling isolated or hearing what you love ridiculed. Nowadays I have re-engage with drumming and listen to post- 40's jazz every day. But there are only three pieces of music that I really like, all classical. One is Ravel's, "Piano concerto for the left hand." There's a chance for you: say something derogatory! What a pain in the backside music is. Cage said that it was a kind of oppression: all that self-indulgent "self expression;" all that preaching; all that fascist- like control over people, oops, I meant sound; all that decadent old fashioned pretence at being mad. Yeah, get real, get a real mental illness you radio head, put yourself in a mental hospital and share your morbidity with the real thing: real human beings whose lives have been ruined by real paranoid. All that erotic muzak; all that bullying and intolerance; all those so called "geniuses"; all those stupid, pretentious lyrics: Voltaire said that if you want to say something stupid, put it in a song. Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll: a truly stupid slogan. A better one is: man is born free and everywhere is in chains. Rock music and drugs are just another link in the chain. There should be a moratorium on music. A bit of silence in the petrol station, in the supermarket, in the cafe, in the hardware dealer, in the home, ...... No chance of that: too many egos looking for adulation, too much money to be made by capitalists. Rage against the machine! Who are you kidding! The capitalists are laughing. Anyway, if we have to put up with music, might as well listen to these guys: definitely talented and the drumming's great.

All-stars for real! And a major take-away for me from Manhattan Project was Pianist Michel Petrucciani. ☮🧡🎷⚡

​@@FrankSax77 Petrucciani is a legend all by himself, playing like that despite his terrible disease a true piano master, he's gone now but has achieved immortality in his music

He is criminally underrated as a pianist.

That had to be experience to never forget!

I really envy you guys, you enjoyed and experienced a stellar jazz performance!!

Yeah man, I got to experience that night as well we but we got there a bit late but I'll never forget that night!

Where in Manhattan can I see experiences like this ! I would like to find Jazz clubs to wind down and enjoy live solo piano performances

@@razzerraw1108 Well you can go to the Village Vanguard, the Blue Note, smalls & a few others. Check the village voice paper that you can get free at the red or blue paper stands. But this is a different era,, more selfish & self centered "I" my CD, my my my! But there's always good musicians in NY. Those clubs named are all in walking distance.

are you Keith C. from brick town ?

@@johnhawkins4257 No sir.

I get what you say. my guess it´s the zeitgeist plus the audience the organizer wants to attract.

haha it's true, apparently the gig was Lenny White's idea, and Gil did all the arranging. What a concept!

These guys are actually great produseer/arrangers

A dear friend gave me a copy of this album which he dubbed onto a cassette tape. I felt like I had discovered a hidden portal to an alternate universe! This was (and still is) one of my go-to favorites when hosting dinner parties- guaranteed to draw inquiries and compliments. Twenty-five years later, I have since acquired a vinyl copy and it still stands out as a timeless masterpiece in my collection.

would love to find a copy of this great work in either cd or mp3 :)

@A Guy Named Shelly: I would love to know which other albums are your favorites.

Well put and brilliant!

@@jjbaccomba I’m fairly certain that the cd is out of print. U might find a used copy at Amazon.

:) Ei mitään. Hyvä kun näistä on iloa muillekin. Joo, siihen aikaan ei ollut TV:n lisäksi oikein muitakaan lähteitä mistä musavideoita olisi nähnyt ja siitä syystä kaikki mielenkiintoinen tuli nauhoitettua :)

Yeah Gil Goldstein & Lenny White arrangements!

That "Dude," is the virtuoso Michel Petrucciani who overcame his condition to to become one of the most important musicians of our era. Respect and admiration are I order not derision.

You are welcome
