Nothing Personal Herbie Hancock Quartet Featuring Michael Brecker 

I like the way Michael pays a little homage to Wayne before he goes full Brecker mode. After all hes playing with Herbie.

Al Foster swings harder than the King's golden gate. What a master! Check out how much he milks the ride cymbal on this tune. So much taste....

Let's not overlook the humble chord player....so we all wish for such absolute mastery of music. Sublime comping, brilliant soling. Herbie Hancock, half man, half piano.

Buster Williams is underated : my favorite bass sound !

I love every version of this tune. This might be my favorite.

brecker's solo is incredible, and then herbie's solo is even better, and then buster william's is my favorite. never have i seen a bass solo on a song this fast, especially with no accompaniment, keep the momentum going this much.

those masters year after year bring something new nobody heard before. Incredible.

Mike Brecker's explosion of in-and-out arpeggios after 3:00 is the very essence of the modern jazz solo. Herbie's expression at 3:30 says it all. What a group...

arguably, closest parallel to early Weather Report dynamic - ferocious, yet cerebral

Needless to say how good Herbie is.

As Miles once told Herbie, don't always play just the butter notes. I think he listened. WOW! And Michael just plowing through those arpeggios like a snow ball rolling down a hill picking up speed along the way. A driving rhythm section makes all the right stops in time! Bravo!

This is beautiful.

I always enjoy anything with Al Foster on drums!

Whatever Michael Brecker is playing on, should be a thumbs up!

And the rest of the quartet, what can you say? Magic

Damn this is happening everybody’s really on top of their game on this performance and sounding very cohesive.

The "mean" Brecker! :P This is one of my favorite performances of Nothing Personal. Of course Hancock and Foster are co-genius brothers, so is Williams, but Brecker's solo is so mean and cheeky, the man was absolutely on his jazz top there.

I love it when Al Foster looks at Mike... it's like he's thinking "Now, hit the GAS!!!!" Zooom!

Wonderful

Thank you Louis-another great upload from your wonderful collection of music by the late, much missed, Michael Brecker. He was awesome.

Greattttt 👏

Herbie is amazeballs!

this brecker guy knows how to do it

Te gek! Bedankt voor het uploaden.

Great bass solo , What a composition !

This Don Grolnik tune is on Brecker's first solo album, "Michael Brecker". It's the first song.

Herbie! Unbelievable playing 🙏🏻

geweldig dit :-)

Buster's tone though -- Damn!

Wow Herbie, at 7:20. What a feel!

Damn... Grooving so hard I was I could play with feel like that drummer

Bravo

You dig!

”Some” notes to explore in Michael’s and Herbie’s solos 😌

Great lick around 4:30

👏🏾👏🏾

Великолепно

8:35 the lick kind of

the tone on that contrabass...

Wow, great share. Michael is lit and the band is smoking. Herbie, Herbie, Herbie, the one and only; and Alex foster is a hover craft. Love seeing Michael swallow the microphone with his bell which I am told he picked up from Joe Henderson.

3:50 - 4:19 - 4:38 - 4:51

hermano, como toca Buster!!!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL..... I actually have a Dave Guardala super king tenor mouthpiece I play on.... n I have the cover of ...Don't Try This At Home ...tattooed on my Arm. Git it Mike

Smokin'

do you have "i didn't know what time it was" by rodgers/hart from the same 1988 concert? that is an unbelieveable version...

1:32 muppet character! :D miss you michael

11:46 💥💥💥

Mr speaker, I'm sorry this is NOT a composition by Michael Brecker but jazz pianist Don Grolnick!! The piece, however, appeared on the Breacker's album with Metheny, Kirkland, DeJohnette and Haden as sidemen.

@9:47 he's paying homage to Horace Silver's solo on "senor blues".

!!!

Unsurpassable

almost sounds like a Don Grolnik tune

Is that a Horace Silver call back at 9:47

Pretty cool right?!?!

5:45 - 5:58 Brutality

Um...I believe this would have blown Ludwig's mind.

8:35 the lick

Went up ”a bit” in tempo but nothing personal 🤣

haha herbie thinks the grolnick tune is strange?

Nothing personal, but while Herbie's solo is amazing, I don't think his comping is really in harmony with Michael during his solo, which really need more of a harmonic platform for Michael to act against. When Herbie comes out with such amazing harmonic voicings it's just wonderful and it's a shame he didn't bring that to bear in this solo, rather than trying to compete with the soloist.
